The second programme review will advance without concessions on labour issues, gov't spokesman says
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
The IMF insists on a series of reforms that we believe they will not contribute to the country's competitiveness, government spokesman Dimitris Tzanakopoulos on Monday said referring to the second programme review.
"We will proceed with the second programme review without making concessions on labour issues," he underlined in statements to SKAI TV.
Tzanakopoulos noted that the government seeks to restore the collective bargaining regime. It also seeks to clarify whether the IMF wants to participate in the programme and in what way adding that the IMF should not impose strict conditions in order to participate.
He also said that the government aims to have the review concluded by the Eurogroup on December 5 and have the timetable for debt settlement fixed.
Asked on German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble's statements, he explained that his positions have been known since 2010 but estimated that the climate has changed as he has opposed to everyone, including US President Barack Obama.
