[01] Reichenbach: There are no easy solutions
AMNA-- The situation is critical and there are no easy solutions that
will bring immediate results for the Greek economy but only tough
paths that need to be clarified, European Commission task force for
Greece chief Horst Reichenbach told an Economist Conference in Athens
on Tuesday, adding that even with the reforms success would not be
absolute without a correct management of finances.amna
He said that many measures have been taken by the EU to support Greece
and solve the problem of access to funds. For that reason, the measures
that the task force will propose in the following months will have to be
materialised immediately. The task force chief said the privatisations
are very important for Greece's economic future, and said he expected
the new government to fulfill its commitments for the continuation of
the reforms that will 'unlock' development.
