The Alternate Minister of Finances Giorgos Houliarakis has headed to Brussels in order to attend the Euro Working Group meeting that is scheduled for Thursday.

At the top of the EWG agenda will be the prior actions which the Greek government will have to implement by mid December in order to unlock additional funding, with a 1-billion-euro tranche at stake.

Among the prior actions included in the package are the management of ‘red’ loans, the new payrolls in the public sector, the independence of the General Secretariat of Public Revenue, the privatization of the independent power transmission operator ADMIE and the first plans regarding the new privatization fund to replace TAIPED.
