LISBON (Reuters) - Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Costa said on Friday it was important that all European Union nations open "green pathways" so a deal on the bloc's 750 billion euro recovery fund can be reached next month.

"This is not the moment to draw red lines, it is the moment to open green pathways to a deal in July," Costa told a news conference after a videoconference meeting of the 27 EU government leaders to discuss the European Commission proposal.
