A meeting between Administrative Reform Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and the heads of the troika of Greece’s lenders concluded at the Finance ministry on Thursday evening without a substantive agreement, either for the completion of the second wave of gradual civil servant layoffs for 2013, which had an extension to the end of March this year, or for 2014.
A senior ministry official said that the ministry’s leadership does not wish to set quantitative targets (on suspension) for 2014, stressing that “we want mobility, but not layoffs. They (the troika) are hearing it, (but) they have not agreed on it”.
A new meeting will be held between the Administrative Reform ministry and the troika in the near future.
Currently, Thursday evening, the troika representatives are meeting with Greece ‘s Labour Minister Yiannis Vroutsis.
