Institutions return to Athens on Monday, EU Commission spox Schinas says

During a press briefing, he said that the institutions will return on Monday with the view to concluding the second programme review as soon as possible. The negotiations will start on Tuesday and will last several days, Schinas noted.

Regarding the data announced by Eurostat, he said that these correspond to a 4.2 pct of GDP primary surplus in 2016. "This figure exceeds significantly the target of the programme for a 0.5 pct of GDP primary surplus in 2016 and 3.5 pct of GDP in 2018. This also confirms the trend that the Commission acknowledged a long time ago," he added.
