The need to implement quickly the prior actions attached to the unlocking of the 2.8-bilion-euro aid installment for Greece and starting the second program review was discussed in a meeting between EU Economics Commissioner Pierre Moscovici and Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos in Brussels on Monday, the first meeting since July.
According to government sources, the issue on the prosecution of former ELSTAT chief Andreas Georgiou by Greek authorities was not discussed by the two officials, who said it may be raised at the EuroWorking Group (EWG) meeting this evening.
Moscovici and Tsakalotos also noted the need to quickly complete the prior actions required for the second program review that will allow talks to start on debt relief.
