[01] Government focuses on review conclusion, QE programme
The conclusion of the second programme review and the participation of
Greece in the ECB quantitative easing programme are the government's
targets, government spokesman Dimitris Tzanakopoulos on Monday said in
an interview with Skai TV.
"A Euro Working Group (EWG) has been scheduled for January 12," he stated
and stressed that the government seeks the acceleration of the procedure
for the restoration of trust in the Greek economy. "Elections are not
in the agenda," Tzanakopoulos reiterated adding that the government
is working for the conclusion of the Greek programme review, the
participation in the ECB quantitative easing programme in the first
quarter of 2017 (...) so that the country exits the crisis.
On the Cyprus issue, he said that the conditions are not the best possible
right now and added: "Greece's position on the issue of security has
been clearly expressed. We insist on the abolition of guarantees and
the withdrawal of Turkish occupation troops."
