I'm not quite sure about that. Romania is bigger because it has a bigger population, but look even at this GDP per capita comparison with Romania.

    Greece: 31695 (2008), 25756 (2025), 31014 (2030, projected)
   Romania: 10435 (2008), 21421 (2025), 28809 (2030, projected)

It won't be until 2030 that Greece will recover, and I'm pretty sure it's slow growth is because of its huge debt because of the euro.
