BRUSSELS, March 12 (Reuters) - Greek real gross domestic product is seen falling at least 2.25 percent in 2010 but steps announced by Athens to tackle its deficit appear sufficient to safeguard budgetary targets, the European Commission said.
Tax reforms announced by the Greek government could produce additional revenue after the second quarter of this year, the European Union executive said on its website.
It said Athens expected to raise public revenue by over 0.5 percent of GDP in 2010 by fighting tax evasion.
"Even if assumed that the worst quarterly real growth rates are already behind us (i.e. the largest contraction in economic activity was in the 4th quarter in 2009), annual real GDP is expected to decline further in 2010, by at least 2.25 percent," the Commission said.
