[01] FinMin-troika meeting completed
AMNA/A morning meeting between Greek finance minister Evangelos
Venizelos and the European Commission (EC), European Central Bank (ECB)
and International Monetary Fund (IMF) 'troika' chiefs was wound about
at about 2:00 on Monday.
The talks focused on the 2013 and 2014 budgets and its provisions which,
according to the troika, should bring in revenues to the state of at
least 6 billion euros, in order for the Greek deficit to be contained
below 3 percent of GDP.
Discussion of outstanding issues concerning the 2011-2012 budgets was
completed between the two sides during a meeting on Sunday.
Venizelos later announced the completion of the circle of meetings
with the troika to parliament's standing economics committee, which is
currently discussing the 2012 state budget.
He noted, however, that some details remained to be finalised by Tuesday
and, if necessary, he would handle those personally so that political
solutions may be given, but added that he did not think that will
be necessary
