The Greek reforms last a long time, but going in the right direction, said the head of the Eurogroup Jeroen Dijsselbloem in a statement, clarifying that the discussions for the b evaluation is not urgent.

EWG: Νομοθετήστε preventive measures now
Meanwhile, the EuroWorking Group, which met yesterday, although not discussed in detail the Greek issue, he sent a clear message. Sources of the Euro area were commenting on the ana-MPA that the next few days are “critical”, however, if there be an agreement between the institutions and the political will of Greece, the institutions will return to Athens, and an agreement at the technical level it is possible and even until 20 February.
However, the same sources have indicated that if agreement is not reached at the technical level by the Eurogroup of 20 February, but significant progress is made, the matter will be referred to the next meeting (20 March), with increased but the probability of the outcome of the Dutch elections and potential turbulence in the markets to complicate further the achievement of agreement.
To change cruising Athens
As for the Greek government, the Athens comes, at information of iefimerida, the dance of the backstage negotiations with the aim of finding a compromise.
The government confirms that it is preparing for a change of direction -to advance legislation some of the measures – and the official “line” is “come in the negotiation with the position we have expressed.
However, the message of the EWG was clear and can easily be surmised that this has the makings of a compromise with a proposal from the lenders, which obviously will not be the measures of the Greek side.
All sides converge to the fact that only a policy decision will be able to reach an agreement, in order to return to Athens the ladder and up to 20 February -or in an emergency Eurogroup – to get out white smoke.

Earlier, an official of the Euro area διεμήνυε that “the enactment of preventive measures from Athens is a prerequisite for the completion of the second assessment”. The same official pointed out that the agreement is necessary to include the fiscal gap of 2018, the labour and the enactment of preventive measures, to ensure the annual surplus of 3.5% of GDP after 2018.
