The institutions received on Monday night the draft law of the reform in the social security system, stated on Tuesday European Commission spokesman Margaritis Schinas.

According to Schinas, the Greek proposal will be examined by the institutions and the discussions with the Greek authorities are expected to be concluded within the framework of the first evaluation that will “start later in this month”.

“The first evaluation comes as a continuation of the decision of the European Stability Mechanism last month to disburse the 1 bln euros sub-tranche to Greece” he said.
Well informed sources stressed the need for a political consensus in the specific issue similar to the one that existed in 2015 in the Greek parliament on important issues.
