Gvt spokesman: Eurogroup decision on short-term measures is a decisive step to stabilize the economy

"The Eurogroup decision on short-term measures is an important success and a decisive step to stabilize the Greek economy and restore confidence," State Minister and government spokesman Dimitris Tzanakopoulos on Tuesday said in a press briefing.

He underlined that the Greek government will continue the effort for a comprehensive agreement if possible by the end of the month. "We explicitly state that the IMF should understand that by no means will we accept measures after the end of the programme ... We insist on our position that Greece cannot be the exception as far as it regards labour relations."
Tzanakopoulos announced that the government and the prime minister will take initiatives to conclude the programme review without new measures and with the restoration of the labour model. As he said, the prime minister will contact EU officials in order to explain the Greek positions on open issues of the negotiation.
