[01] Venizelos: Greece should finally get on course to exit the crisis

Replying to questions on the government's "red lines", Venizelos said that the framework for every ministry - and in total - is very clear.

Venizelos also said that no discussions were held on layoffs and stressed that what is important now is sending the message to the civil servant that he/she must help the state to enable it to be at the service of the citizen and of growth and that he has no reason to fear anything.

PASOK party sources stressed after the meeting that a political discussion will be held in Paris in which the government mission wil raise the issues preoccupying the country and citizens.

They added that this will be done by Finance Minister Ghikas Hardouvelis, after receiving relevant guidelines from Samaras and Venizelos in the coming days.
