EC Commissioner Mr. Moscovici also said that there were constructive talks in Athens last week and good progress was made on a number of fronts, while intense work is now ongoing at the technical level.
This work needs to continue at an adequate pace in the coming days so that the mission chiefs can return to Athens as soon as possible and take forward negotiations with a view to reaching a staff level agreement in the coming weeks (he said that is still possible to conclude the review before Easter, which this year is at the end of March).
He also acknowledged that the reforms being discussed at the moment are in many cases very difficult, both politically and socially, and these necessary reforms will not become any easier by delaying the moment when they need to be agreed and adopted.
