[01] Conclusion of second review as soon as possible, says European
Commission spokesman Schinas
The European Commission is struggling for the best possible progress
ahead of Thursday's Eurogroup meeting, its spokesman Margaritis Schinas
on Monday said during a press briefing.
"The Commission is working hard with the Greek authorities and the other
partners to achieve the best possible progress ahead of the Eurogroup
meeting," he said adding that "the aim is to have the second review
concluded as soon as possible".
Referring to the letter of compromise, he said that such issues are
discussed within the context of the negotiations and among the Eurogroup
members. Finally, Schinas underlined that the European Commission
is focused on a 'constructive' discussion in order to continue the
cooperation and facilitate the further progress.
Additionally, a community source referred to European institution's
pleasure over IMF chief Christine Lagarde's statement in which she
expressed her commitment to the Greek programme after her meeting with
German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble in Davos. "We feel reassured by
Lagarde's statement that the Fund remains committed to the implementation
of those agreed," said the same source.
