[03] Regling: Higher uncertainty in GreeceANA/MPA---"In Greece seems to exist higher uncertainty in comparison with Spain, Portugal and Ireland where governments have changed but the adjustment programme continued with small changes but the governments supported the overall direction and therefore the markets were appeased" stated the head of ESM/EFSF Klaus Regling to the Sunday edition of Kathimerini.He also noted that the markets are monitoring the political condition in every country and it is "reasonable for them to worry more when the main opposition has radically different views". Regling said that Greece is the champion of reforms in the eurozone and stated that the "differences with the troika are not only on the fiscal issues but also on the progress of the restructuring reforms" adding that the decision for the settlement of tax payment in 100 installments took by surprise the troika.
