European Union in the starting blocks for decisive year This week, Europe Weekly takes another look at Greece. Although still convalescing, as fate would have it the country's turn has come up to preside over the European Union. This year, Greece hopes to emerge from a long tunnel of recession, but the country is socially worn out. More than a quarter of the workforce is unemployed - among young people the figure is more than half - while average income has plunged, and exasperation swells the ranks of the extremes on both left and right. In such circumstances this European presidency attracts far from unanimous approval. The programme also reports on the European Parliament's attempt to reopen the Pandora's Box over Edward Snowden. The man who exposed the US National Security Agency's massive surveillance of American citizens - as well as European leaders - still has confidential information in his possession. MEPs want to question him. Lastly, their faces are not necessarily familiar, but the EU's top posts will be up for grabs between May and November. A chance for a new start, but can that change the face of Europe? Audrey Tilve of euronews put the question to Vivien Pertusot, head of the French Institute for International Relations in Brussels.
