CRI听力:EU may Adapt Policies following Greece's Election Result

The European Union might adapt some of its policies following the recent election result in Greece.

Jean-Claude Juncker is the European Commission President.

"It may be that we'll have to adapt a certain number of our policies. But we won't change all of them, just because the election result pleases some, but doesn't please others."

The left-wing Syriza party won Greece's general elections on a pledge to axe more than half its debt to eurozone lenders.

Greece has to strike a comprehensive deal with its creditors by the end of June or it will be unable to repay some eight billion US dollars worth of bonds due to be paid back in July and August.

Historically, creditor countries have often written off debt owed by poorer nations.

However, by the fact that it is part of a currency union - richer countries like Germany do not want to set a precedent for other states that might get into financial trouble.
