Yes, I agree.

CLDR has this:

http://unicode.org/cldr/trac/browser/trunk/common/main/el.xml#L5563

    <currencyFormats numberSystem="latn">
        <currencyFormatLength>
                <currencyFormat type="standard">
                        <pattern>#,##0.00 ¤</pattern>
                </currencyFormat>
                <currencyFormat type="accounting">
                        <pattern>#,##0.00 ¤</pattern>
                </currencyFormat>
        </currencyFormatLength>

I.e. the currency sign comea after the amount.

In some locales like it_CH.xml CLDR has
different patterns for positive and negative
amounts separated by a “;”:

    <pattern>¤ #,##0.00;¤-#,##0.00</pattern>

As the el.xml file does not have this, I think we can  assume that the
positive and  negative amounts use the same pattern.
