ECB’s Wellink ‘Fully Confident’ Greece Will Receive Aid Payment for June

By Jurjen van de Pol - May 27, 2011 11:48 AM GMT+0200 Fri May 27 09:48:14 GMT 2011

European Central Bank Governing Council member Nout Wellink expects Greece to meet conditions for a 3.3 billion-euro ($4.7 billion) aid payment by the International Monetary Fund next month.
“There is enormous pressure on Greece to resolve this,” Wellink said in an interview in Amsterdam today. “It is difficult. I’m fully confident that in the end, Greece will meet the conditions, meaning that only then the IMF and Europe can say ‘yes.’”
Officials from the European Union, the IMF and the European Central Bank will complete their review of Greece’s progress in meeting the bailout terms next week. Their recommendation is needed before the fifth bailout payment can be distributed and as a condition for further aid being considered by the EU.
Jean-Claude Juncker, who leads a group of euro-area finance ministers, yesterday said the IMF may withhold aid for Greece as questions mount about how the country can avoid default next year. The IMF is contributing to a June payment of 12 billion euros.
While the terms of Greece’s rescue last year assumed it would be able to tap the market for financing in 2012, that may be unlikely as its bonds slide. That puts Greece at risk of default, increasing the risk tied to any further disbursement of IMF funds.
“Exports are starting to pick up, which I find a positive point,” and Greek gross domestic product grew in the first quarter, said Wellink, who also heads the Dutch central bank. “The stronger the economic climate becomes, the easier this very difficult package can be realized” by the Greek government.

Deutsche Telekom’s Secret Two-Day Visit In Athens



Deutsche Telekom top officials visited Athens, while the sale of state’s participation in OTE is considered a matter of time.

Last Tuesday, the administration of the German giant arrived in Athens, a visit that was interpreted as “we are here, but...”

German officials met with the chairman and CEO of OTE, Michalis Tsamaz, who outlined the problems and objectives of the company.

Meetings with Greek government officials were not held officially, however sources note that the government was prepared for this visit. Thus, it is not considered a coincidence that the Minister of Finance, George Papaconstantinou, sent a letter addressed to the management of Deutsche Telekom, just a day after its departure.

It is estimated that the German unit will return very soon in Greece (possibly over the weekend) in order to negotiate the terms and the conditions for the acquisition of at least 16%, which is the total package of state’s participation in OTE. It remains unknown if the social insurance fund IKA will maintain its 4% stake in the company.

DT is not opposed against a further increase to more than 40%, “but it makes no favours”, according to analysts with knowledge on the issue.

The conditions set by the German side are tough: lifting of labour permanency, cuts in salaries, refinance of loan, relations with the regulatory authority etc.

The messages sent by the Germans are clear. Just ten days after DT warned about the future of its investment in OTE, the German group stated its reluctance in enhancing its participation.

The head of DT in SE Europe Roland Mahler said that the acquisition of an additional stake should not be taken for granted.

Obama backs efforts on eurozone debt woes -official






DEAUVILLE, France | Fri May 27, 2011 7:31am EDT

DEAUVILLE, France May 27 (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama told European counterparts on Friday that he backed their efforts to tackle a sovereign debt crisis in the region, a senior U.S. official said.
"The president made clear that we have a strong interest in the euro zone successfully managing their way through the situation, that we have been supportive of them doing so, that it is their issue to figure out how to resolve," said the official.
"It's not our place to tell them how to resolve it. But through the IMF and otherwise we are supportive of what they are doing and we are confident that they will be able to do it."
Obama was attending a Group of Eight summit in the French seaside resort of Deauville, where leaders of the three largest euro currency countries -- Germany, France and Italy -- were present.
Governments in the European Union and the narrower group of 17 countries that share the euro currency have been forced over the past 18 months to rescue the economies of Greece, Ireland and Portugal, which represent about 6 percent of euro zone economic output.
Greece's prime minister held talks with opposition leaders on Friday in a last-ditch attempt to win their support for more austerity and free up EU/IMF aid needed to avert a debt default.

Την ανάγκη επίτευξης εθνικής συνεννόησης άμεσα για να μπορέσει η χώρα να αντιμετωπίσει πιο αποτελεσματικά την κρίση, επισήμανε, σύμφωνα με πληροφορίες, ο Κάρολος Παπούλιας ανοίγοντας τη συζήτηση στο συμβούλιο των πολιτικών αρχηγών.
Ο κ. Παπούλιας, σύμφωνα με τις ίδιες πληροφορίες, χρησιμοποιώντας ξεκάθαρη γλώσσα τόνισε ότι απαιτείται ακόμη να ληφθούν εκείνα τα μέτρα που θα διασφαλίζουν την κοινωνική συνοχή καθώς και να στοχεύουν στην προστασία των οικονομικά αδυνάτων. Παράλληλα, ο Γ. Παπανδρέου θα ενημερώσει για τις συζητήσεις ενόψει των αποφάσεων στην ΕΕ και την πορεία της χώρας.

Λίγα λεπτά αργότερα, κάθισε δίπλα της, ο πρόεδρος του ΣΥΡΙΖΑ, Αλέξης Τσίπρας, τον οποίο συνόδευαν ο εκπρόσωπος Τύπου του κόμματος Πάνος Σκουρλέτης και ο διευθυντής του γραφείου του Κ. Παππάς.
Τρίτος έφθασε ο πρόεδρος της ΝΔ, Αντώνης Σαμαράς, μαζί με τους κ. Κώστα Αρβανιτόπουλο, Χρύσανθο Λαζαρίδη και Γιάννη Μιχελάκη.
Ακολούθησε ο Γιώργος Καρατζαφέρης πρόεδρος του ΛΑΟΣ, τον οποίο συνόδευαν ο πρέσβης Γ. Γεωργίου και ο βουλευτής Άδωνις Γεωργιάδης.
Στις 12.30 έφθασε ο πρωθυπουργός Γιώργος Παπανδρέου, μαζί με τον υπουργό Οικονομικών Γιώργο Παπακωνσταντίνου, τον υπουργό Εξωτερικών Δημήτρη Δρούτσα, τον κυβερνητικό εκπρόσωπο Γιώργο Πεταλωτή καθώς και το στενό του συνεργάτη Νίκο Ζιώγα.
Όλοι οι συνεργάτες των αρχηγών παρέμειναν σε διπλανή αίθουσα μαζί, με τους κυρίους Παπακωνσταντίνου και Δρούτσα, οι οποίοι λίγα λεπτά αργότερα από την έναρξη του συμβουλίου, εκλήθησαν να δώσουν διευκρινίσεις και εξηγήσεις για την οικονομική και πολιτική κατάσταση, καθώς και για το κλίμα που υπάρχει στο εξωτερικό για τη χώρα.
