BRUSSELS (ANA/Ch. Vassilaki) - Talks between the Greek government and
the institutions in the framework of the second review of the Greek
programme are continuing, European Commission spokeswoman Annika

The institutions' missions have returned to their headquarters and the
follow-up meetings to this mission, ahead of the March 20 Eurogroup,
are taking place "both in Athens and through headquarters," Breidthardt
said during a press briefing in Brussels.
"The aim is to rapidly conclude a staff-level agreement," she said,
while the Commission was working toward the March 20 "and all Eurogroups."
