[01] European Commission says Greek talks making good progress
BRUSSELS (ANA-MPA/ C. Vasilaki) European Commission spokeswoman Mina
Andreeva on Wednesday expressed the European Commission's satisfaction
with the progress in the negotiations on a third financial assistance
programme for Greece.
During the regular press briefing, she said the talks were progressing
in a "positive" and "constructive" way and this could allow them
to be concluded as quickly as possible. The head of the European
Commission's mission in Athens was already on the scene and leading
"intensive negotiations" with the Greek side, she added. According to
Andreeva, the two packages of prior actions and reforms passed by the
Greek Parliament showed that the Greek government was delivering on its
commitments, exactly as agreed.
The heads of missions sent by the four institutions representing
Greece's creditors - the European Commission, European Central Bank,
International Monetary Fund and now the European Stability Mechanism -
arrived in Athens on Wednesday but negotiations by technical teams and
working groups have been underway since Monday.
