[01] EWG to approve disbursement of Greece's sub-tranche, Eurozone source
tells ANA
BRUSSELS (ANA/C. Vasikali) – The EuroWorking Group (EWG) will
meet on Monday to approve the disbursement of the 2.8-billion-euro
loan sub-tranche to Greece, a senior Eurozone official told the
Athens-Macedonian News Agency on Friday.
Earlier this week, the same source had said that the EWG would only
be called only if the institutions certify that all the prior actions
required by the country's lenders have been implemented.
This means that the official approval for the disbursement at Monday's
Eurogroup is very possible.
[02] Air traffic controllers to hold 24-hour rolling strikes as of Sunday
Planes will remain grounded in Greek airports as of Sunday due to the
rolling 24-hour strikes called by air traffic controllers, who are
protesting against the new legislation approved by parliament that
foresees the restructuring of the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
The strikes have been scheduled for Sunday (Oct. 9), Monday, Wednesday
and Thursday, from 00:01 to 23:59. During those days, there will no
flights to and from Greek airports.
After its meeting with Infrastructure Minister Christos Spirtzis and the
head of the CAA Konstantinos Lyntzerakos, the union said it insists on
taking labour action.
