The basic conditions that could constitute the terms of reference have been set, President of Cyprus Mr. Nicos Anastasiades said today, while speaking about his meeting with the UN Secretary-General and the Turkish-Cypriot leader on November 25, adding that any attempt to provide answers in advance on issues that should be talked about at the table of discussion would be inconceivable.

European Commission spokesperson Annika Breidthardt defended the data the European Commission uses for the Greek programme against IMF's criticism.

There is progress in the negotiations between the institutions and the Greek authorities, but they are not expected to draft progress reports said Annika Braitchart, representative of the Finance Commissioner, Pierre Moskovisi today in Brussels.
