Alexis Tsipras and Jeroen Dijsselbloem “agreed to ask the European institutions to begin talks with the Greek authorities to start working on the technical analysis of common points between the program [adjustment] and the current Greek government program,” said the Eurogroup president’s spokesman and also Minister of Finance of the Netherlands, Simone Boitelle, quoted by the Spanish edition of the ‘Huffington Post’.
The Greek newspaper ‘Kathimerini’, in its Twitter account, needed the Greeks technicians will meet with the European Union, the European Central Bank (ECB) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), in order to prepare the next Eurogroup meeting on Monday. The question is where will run these technical work and the Greeks responsible will meet with the various institutions together or separately. This is because Tsipras, participating today in Brussels European Council in his first since he was elected head of the Greek government, has stated repeatedly that the ‘troika’ (European Commission, ECB and IMF) is over.
Today even the European Central Bank decided to increase to 65 billion funding limit for Greek banks, according to banking sources quoted by AFP.
“In a telephone conference, the ECB extended by a week to help ALS “(emergency assistance from the central bank) and” decided to give Greece the amount that had been requested, “said source close to the Bank of Greece told AFP, without mentioning the amount.
According to a another source close to the dossier, the limit was increased to EUR 5 billion. Last week the ceiling for loans to Greek banks had been set at 60 billion euros.
