That’s Eurogroup President Jeroen Dijsselbloem said Friday. He expects no decisions taken during the meeting of the finance ministers of the euro countries.
At the end of February, after hours of discussion and wrangling decided to extend the loan program until late June. Greece was going to work on a specific list of measures, no later than the end of April would be approved by the lenders.
But although talks are finally under way, an agreement was still miles away. And without reform list no money, about the other eighteen euro countries agree.
” It’s not the end of April, ” said Dijsselbloem but consultations Friday will revolve around business, the position he emphasized .
No deadline
Dijsselbloem particularly want to know ” whether knots are untangled. ” A deadline Dijsselbloem will no longer speak. ” The deadline is important for Greece, which is quite a pinch in terms of resources, than for the euro countries. So for Athens, it is important that there is a deal soon, ” said the minister.
The bottom of the Greek Treasury comes more and more into view. Until now, the country is still managed to maintain its payment. Dijsselbloem is therefore not assume that a Greek default is near.
“I’m assuming that they manage their cash and we soon have an agreement. Therefore the situation stabilizes again. ”
The Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis wrote Friday in a blog that bridge the current dispute between Greece and its lenders.
Varoufakis writes that the Greek Government ” eager to reorganize the pension system. ” Also Athens will include continue with the (partial) privatization of public enterprises, increasing entrepreneurship and the creation of an independent regulator in the tax office.
The lenders and Athens differ only by understanding about the way how the reforms affect the (macro) economics. That remains the most contentious issue, writes Varoufakis.
He stressed that the policy stringent austerity policies of recent years has failed. The policies imposed by the lenders. He wants to convince its partners to release this method
