[01] Agreement reached with Troika at technical level
ANA-MPA -- Agreement at technical level has been reached between the
government and the European Commission (EC), European Central Bank (ECB)
and International Monetary Fund (IMF) Troika of Greece's international
lenders, according to sources who are privy to the negotiations.
The Troika's team of experts completed an examination of the reforms
being advanced by Greece and paved the way for the disbursement of the
next tranche of 10 billion euros of the EU/IMF bailout loan, a source
told a foreign news agency.
The agreement, achieved on Friday, if approved at Saturday's meeting
between Prime Minister Antonis Samaras and the leaders of the two
junior parties in his coalition government -- PASOK leader Evangelos
Venizelos and Democratic Left (DIMAR) leader Fotis Kouvelis -- will open
the way to the disbursement of a 2.8 billion euro balance, outstanding
from December. The government is targeting full agreement by Tuesday to
enable the release of the 2.8 billion euro by the end of April.
If the leaders agree, an official announcement could possibly be released
by the Troika on Sunday.
