Samaras and Venizelos in search of exit for the milk
On Wednesday, the Minister for Development Kostis Chatzidakis will meet with members of New Democracy and PASOK, when the fate of the government bill on the structural changes of the OECD should be considered, broadly. In the background, ongoing discussions in Maximus-Charilaou Trikoypi-Ministry of Finance-Troika are made to find a middle ground that will enable blues and greens to vote for the bill, with a way that troika will accept. After all, the technical levels of creditors actively participate in the formulation of the articles of the bill as they seek to ensure the full mapping of the agreement, which was reached last week.
According to information gathered by newsbomb.gr , the government will not only reduce the political pressure on the rebels, highlighting the risks for the country from a possible rejection of the bill, but will go ahead with “goodwill” movements. In this part, the extension of time that they can get milk of first category (“milk day”) remains on the shelves. From two days, the time will be increased to three, if troika permits, so small farmers will have better chances to dominate in that category against companies in the category of milk duration of ten days. Alongside strict controls on imports in order to ensure that the boundaries between the categories are proposed and the inclusion of dairy in European programs will be pursued to enable them to modernize their production structures.
With this “package”, the government wants to curb the reactions and persuade those members who need convincing, because executives mostly from the side of PASOK, as Michalis Kassis and Thanos Moraitis, who seem immovable, while for the first in Charilaou Trikoypi it’s said that he seeks a heroic exit from PASOK. The bill, which will include structural changes and reforms in the OECD, tax and the new recapitalization of banks, will probably be filed next Friday in the Parliament. The processing is made, in a sense of urgency, from Saturday and the Commission, while on midnight Monday, March 31, the crucial vote in Parliament will be held.
