According to the IMF’s recent evaluations of the Greek Economic Adjustment Programme, a EUR 12.6 billion hole has appeared in Greece’s public finances for 2015. At the same time, the Managing Director of the European Stability Mechanism (ESM), Klaus Regling, has repeatedly spoken out in favour of a new financial package for Greece, should it prove necessary.
In view of the above, will the Commission say:
- 1.What is the position of the Commission and the Troika in relation to existing possibilities for filling the funding gap in the Greek programme? Has any thought been given to new economic policy measures?
- 2.How does it view the position espoused by the Managing Director of the European Stability Mechanism?
