Following exhaustive discussions in Paris, the main disagreement between Troika and the Greek regulation is the fact that Troika demands a permanent source of income to cover the financing gap of 2015.

According to reports, all other issues discussed are closed but lenders are strictly uncompromising on the following:

– Enterprises to be excluded from the 100 doses regulation

– Pension cut backs or tax increase in the island regions from 6.5 to 13%

However, the Greek delegation did not even discuss the possibility of a new change to the Law on doses or pension cut backs or increasing VAT and therefore the talks at this stage had an inglorious end.
