[01] Finance Ministry races against time on 'prior actions'
ANA/MPA---Finance Minister Gikas Hardouvelis last Friday sent letters to
all of his government partners that are involved in the pending issues
of Greece's bailout deal.
According to sources, Hardouvelis reiterated each ministry's obligations
in relation to the second package of prior actions as well as the main
of the about 600 memorandum actions that have been pending since spring.
As far as the prior actions are concerned, the Finance ministry is
asking for their implementation as soon as possible. According to
Finance ministry officials, Hardouvelis said that there was no room for
complacency and that all the issues that were left pending after troika's
mini-review need to be settled in the next 55 days.
In this case, the officials say, that troika's autumn review could last
20 days or one month at most. The minister will travel to Brussels for
the October 13 Eurogroup meeting having reached an agreement – at least
in principle – with the lenders' representatives aimed at paving the
way for the negotiations over a new settlement for the public debt.
