“We are looking bankruptcy in the eye. We are at a crucial turning point of an effort to save the country and a revision of the Memorandum is necessary”, stated Dimitris Daskalopoulos on Tuesday. He is the president of the Federation of Hellenic Enterprises.
Speaking at a press conference, the head of Greece’s largest employers’ union said the Federation will present detailed proposals on the revision of the memorandum to EU Economic Affairs Commissioner Olli Rehn on Wednesday. The Greek government and Troika officials will be presented with the proposals on Thursday.
The basic points of these proposals are achieving fiscal targets for 2010 and 2011 regarding taking additional tax measures that may put the country’s social stability at risk. The second point regards acceleration of all the necessary structural reforms combined with urgent measures to boost export activity and support business activity. The third point centers around state reforms along with the opening up of domestic markets.
