[01] Samaras, Venizelos hold meeting on new round of talks with troika
ANA-MPA -- Prime Minister Antonis Samaras on Wednesday had a meeting
with Government Vice-President and Foreign Minister Evangelos Venizelos,
leader of the PASOK party that supports the coalition government, to
discuss the new round of talks between the Greek government and the
EU-ECB-IMF troika officials representing the country's creditors.
Sources reporting on the meeting said that Samaras and Venizelos agreed
that the negotiations must be concluded as quickly as possible so as to
restore social harmony and calm. The prime minister and Venizelos also
repeated that no new horizontal measures will be taken.
PASOK officials said the party wanted greater social justice in the
single property tax and that Venizelos' position with respect to Greek
defence industries was that they should retain their export activities
and their liquidation conducted while they were in operation.
