[01] PM Tsipras meets Fraport management
Today, you are sending an important message with the 1.234 billion euro
investment, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Wednesday said welcoming
Fraport management adding that this is an important moment for Greece.
"Negotiations were not easy," the prime minister said and added:
"We wanted to improve the image of the airports ahead of the tourist
season. Now we are certain that it will improve," he stressed.
On his part, Fraport's representative expressed the joint venture's
commitment to invest in the airports. "Greece is a beautiful country,
a great destination. We are determined for this 40-year investment."
[02] Agreement on mid-term measures for debt necessary for the
implementation of measures in 2019, says Tzanakopoulos
"The agreement on the mid-term measures for the debt is a condition for
the implementation of the measures in 2019," reiterated State Minister
and government spokesman Dimitris Tzanakopoulos speaking on Wednesday
to SKAI TV.
"After the April 7 Eurogroup meeting, we have entered the final stretch
for the conclusion of the second review of the Greek programme, the steps
are specific," said Tzanakopoulos adding that "the mid-term measures
for the debt which constitute a condition for the IMF participation
in the Greek programme will be discussed at the IMF spring meeting on
April 21-23 in Washington. The return of the technical staff to Athens
will follow, the prior actions will be defined and will be voted in
parliament. Afterwards the Eurogroup will convene to approve the agreement
probably on May 22 or earlier at an extraordinary Eurogroup meeting,"
explained Tzanakopoulos.
The mid-term measures for the debt will be determined now and will be
implemented after the end of the programme, he noted.
