[01] FinMin Varoufakis: 'Greece wants reforms, is discussing process'
ANA-MPA - The issue in the negotiations with Greece's creditors is not
whether to apply the reforms or not, Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis
said from Venice on Saturday, but what process will be followed.
Speaking on the sidelines of a congress in Italy, Varoufakis referred
to a relevant correspondence he had with Eurogroup chairman Jeroen
Dijsselbloem, saying, "Eurogroup chairman Dijsselbloem has replied
to my letter. The issue isn't the reforms, because Greece wants them,
and wants them more. The task, therefore, is to agree on the process by
which the reforms will be made more specific, implemented and evaluated
so that they can be reviewed by the Eurogroup."
He added that "the elaboration and assessment of the Greek government's
reform programme will be discussed by technical teams that will convene
shortly in Brussels."
Varoufakis is in Italy to attend an Aspen Institute think tank congress on
"Assessing Risk: Business in Global Disorder."
