The second programme review will be concluded on time and the debt

[02] Tsipras on Twitter: "Deeply saddened by the loss of Shimon Peres"

and reconciliation in the Middle East remains as timely as ever,"

[03] Greece's positions on labour issues are strengthened by Committee
of Independent Experts' report, Katrougalos says
Greece's positions on labour issues are strengthened after the report of
the Committee of Independent Experts, Labour Minister George Katrougalos
said in statements to the Athens-Macedonian News Agency stressing their
importance of Greece returning to European normality.
"The report of the Committee of Independent Experts regarding reforms in
labour relations was delivered yesterday. All the three pillars of the
negotiation (labour union law, mass layoffs, collective negotiations)
are strengthened by the report because they aim at the country's return
to European normality. Memorandum policies have deregulated the labour
market in Greece. They have undermined all the guarantees of individual
and collective labour law, they have essentially abolished collective
bargaining, they have created a labour jungle. It is time we returned
to the European Social Model. Tomorrow, September 29, the conclusions
and the general positions of our country for the labour market will be
presented at a special session of the Committee set up by the European
Parliament's Employment Committee".

[05] Political leaders' debate on education in parliament
A political leaders' debate on education will take place in Parliament
on Wednesday at an initiative of main opposition New Democracy leader
Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
However, political leaders are also expected to discuss other topics of
