Eurogroup's Dijsselbloem: Greece reform outline 'far from complete'

AMSTERDAM Mon Mar 9, 2015 4:22am EDT

(Reuters) - A list of reforms proposed by Greece last week to help it win creditor support is "far from complete," the head of the Eurogroup said.

Speaking at an event in Amsterdam on Sunday, Jeroen Dijsselbloem, who is also Dutch finance minister, said the Greek proposal was "serious" but not enough.


Dijsselbloem, whose Eurogroup of euro zone finance ministers will discuss Greece at a meeting on Monday, said Athens had submitted six proposals, with more expected to come.

"The six, those are just the first six. Those absolutely won't be accepted as the 30 percent that they wanted to replace," he said. "The Greeks know that too, by the way, they don't have any pretence that this is it."

Dijsselbloem's remarks refer to plans by the new Greek government to replace some of the budget consolidation measures agreed to by the previous government with different reforms.

Once steps to reach these goals are taken, Greece would become eligible for more credit from the euro zone and the International Monetary Fund, and its banks could again finance themselves at European Central Bank open market operations.

Time is pressing because Greece is expected to run out of cash later this month.

If Greece reaches an agreement on reforms with its creditors it could access 1.8 billion euros ($1.96 billion) of funds remaining from its existing 240 billion euro bailout.

  1. How do you keep your kid "stranger proof" this summer?
    When kids are out of school, there is much more time for households
    to make life-lasting recollections when heading out to enjoy fairs,
    festivals, and amusement parks. Here's a plan to keep them secure.


    My mothers and fathers usually said homemade gifts are the best presents anybody can get.

    Giving somebody a do-it-yourself present shows that person how much you
    treatment about and appreciate him or her. Not to point
    out, it's a fantastic way to save money more than the holidays!


    A sense of humor goes a lengthy way. In reality some hospitals now have
    "laughing rooms" which I've read about, but not noticed. I suppose they have funny videos.
    A good chuckle is a fantastic stress relief. You don't
    feel like laughing, of program, but do it anyway, and don't be apologetic.
    It's a physiological treatment to unrelenting stress that costs less, is much more readily available and has
    fewer side results than Xanax. When you go back again to your hotel space at
    night, lease the funniest film you can find and chuckle.


    The very best blackjack dealers I have ever sat
    with have been the friendly ones. It didn't even make a difference if I gained, as long as I favored
    the dealer. Okay, it did matter if I won, but it harm a great deal less if I stated, "Hey Glenn, many thanks for taking all of my cash." You will
    find that casino workers generally have at minimum two nametags,
    occasionally even three on their uniforms. You can't miss them!
    So use their nametags in each good and poor times: "Looks like you busted Sammy!"
    "Hit me Ellen!" "Marvin, I can't think you just received blackjack once more!" Try this,
    and I guarantee that your on line casino experience will be much more fun and a lot much more personable.


    (7) Welcome your new followers - individually, I'm
    not a enthusiast of this 1, as I have noticed all manner of automatic "thanks for following me" messages.
    There's absolutely nothing wrong with a "thanks for following me" tweet every now
    and then -- these are good. Just attempt not to be as well mechanical about
    it.

    To be totally sincere, I was not very impressed with the food.
    The initial night, we ate dinner at Zuggy's Base Camp. Bill and I
    were each exhausted, cranky, and hungry. We sat down at a booth and I
    seemed around. the first thing I believed was that the place reminded me of an Outback Steak Home.
    The menu consisted of pizzas, burgers, and an assortment of fattening appetizers.
    Invoice and I both ordered cheeseburgers and draft beers.
    I overheard our waiter telling an additional party that a few of the much more popular appetizers had been offered out.


    A 7 days later on she called to established up an job interview, the result of which was a 4 page article that came out two times
    prior to the release of my initial book!

    You can choose whichever solution tends to make the most feeling to
    you. But I hope these company lessons I've learned from wearing a nametag will assist
    you make your mark and do some thing unforgettable!
