The main issues that remain open in the ongoing negotiations between the government and the representatives of the institutions are labour laws, fiscal issues and the out-of-court settlement for non-performing loans, a finance ministry official said on Monday evening.
According to the official, the two sides paused the meeting for a few hours so that the representatives of the institutions can draft a new draft agreement which will include the comments of the Greek side. The plan will be handed over to the government’s economic team later tonight, signaling a new round of talks, as “some (of the Greek observations) might be accepted, some may not be accepted and some may be deferred,” the official said.
He also said a teleconference will be held next week as the heads of the institutions will leave Athens on Tuesday due to the Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S.
