[01] Labour Minister's meeting with the troika ends
ANA-MPA - A meeting between Labour Minister Yiannis Vroutsis and the
troika of Greece's lenders ended in Athens, without further information
about an agreement being reached between the two sides.
Vroutsis had met on Thursday with Finance Minister Yannis
Stournaras. According to Labour ministry sources on Thursday, they
examined the two issues under negotiation - mass layoffs in the public
sector and the process of applying the reduction of the non-wage-related
cost by 3.9 percentage points starting this coming summer.
The source expressed optimism that negotiations between the troika
and Labour ministry will be concluded shortly and that they will reach
agreement on outstanding issues.
