«Δεν υπάρχει ρήξη με την Αθήνα» ξεκαθαρίζει ο Νταλάρα

Dear Colleagues:

Over the last few hours I have been overwhelmed with telephone calls and emails from many reporters — sorry if I have not responded individually to everyone  — as a result of some stories that appear to have originated with reporters based in Athens. The stories have no basis in fact. Stories have suggested that talks between the Government of Greece and the representatives of the Private Investor-Creditor Steering Committee to Greece have broken down – quite the contrary. Stories have stated that Steering Committee Co-Chairmen Charles Dallara and Jean Lemierre  left Athens “unexpectedly” – quite untrue. And some stories have been even more imaginative.

 

I would really appreciated it if those reporters who have published the incorrect information would correct their stories.

This is the situation.

Talks are continuing. Mr. Dallara and Mr. Lemierre have had longstanding personal appointments outside of Greece and they both left Athens today for Paris, as had long been scheduled. Their visit to Paris has nothing to do with the PSI discussions. They are both fully available to the Greek Government’s leadership by telephone should this be necessary. Meanwhile,  a team of experts representing the Steering Committee remains in Athens and will be working with Government officials on many aspects of the PSI. Progress was made late yesterday and please see below the statement we issued very early this morning.

Best wishes, Frank Vogl

Τέλος στη φημολογία

Σφόδρα ενοχλημένος και επικριτικός για τις φήμες και τα σενάρια, που «συνόδευσαν» την αιφνιδιαστική αναχώρησή του για το Παρίσι, φέρεται να είναι ο διευθύνων σύμβουλος του IIF, κ. Τσαρλς Νταλάρα.
