The rating ranges from AAA (“triple A”, excellent credit, virtually no risk of default) than BBB (satisfactory) to D (in default of payment, no credit).
Moody’s: John Moody founded in 1909, Moody’s Investors Service, which is recognized by the US Securities and Exchange Commission since 1975. The ratings range from Aaa to Baa1 on C
Fitch Ratings. In 1924 in New York from the Fitch Publishing Company of John Fitch, the company Fitch Ratings. All three companies have their headquarters in New York, Fitch Ratings also in London; They have offices all over the world. The rating ranges from AAA to D.
Rating Agencies assess the creditworthiness of companies, banks and States and awarded to different credit ratings. It released figures are also channeled as industry estimates or judgment of management.
The worse they assess the creditworthiness of a market participant, the more expensive and more difficult it is for them to get some money. Refinancing costs are rising, at worst draw their capital from financial backers. (: P Ba1, S & amp: BB +, Fitch: BB + Moody’s) are considered “junk” in the credit rating be based not only banks, but also for example institutional investors

Highly speculative bonds.. If a bond classified as speculative, for example, central banks need to sell them.

The Europeans are – perhaps with the exception of politicians like Angela Merkel – generous, Thom Feeney is safe. That’s why he do not trust to even more to the people than the governments to rescue the heavily indebted Greece from bankruptcy.

Greece: Tsipras confused the euro partners – THE WORLD

the Greek government and representatives of the Troika start a few hours before leaving a current utility last attempts at mediation. The government in Athens asked therefore the euro partners is a new, two-year aid program from the euro rescue fund ESM .

The Greek top attributes this to the financial emergency. “As you know, the Republic is facing urgent financial problems in the second half of 2015 and for the full year 2016″, says the letter, which is pending before the European news service Politico.

It is a reversal of the government Tsipras. So far, she stressed but always that they aspire no third utility. However, this commitment did not correspond to economic realities. The international creditors have so far gone firmly believe that Athens will need a new tool.



Warms Athens the old positions only new to?

If the negotiators of the new proposal from Athens for astonishment caused. “First he rejects all measures for another program from” it said of a diplomat. “Then he suddenly wants to negotiate a new aid program. That’s just absurd. The man overwhelmed me. He wants to push only to new concessions creditors simply.”

Other negotiators declared that the proposal from Athens have no news value. It would merely reproduced the known positions.

The Greek Government requested in writing in addition to new loans and debt relief for the existing debts at the emergency rescue fund EFSF. The liabilities should be restructured with the aim that “the Greek debt sustainable in the long term and operate” remained.

Athens is facing national bankruptcy. Last Saturday, the ministers of the euro group still had stated that they would not extend the current credit offers to Greece. Tonight, 0.00 clock, they run out.

The euro zone finance ministers had responded that Prime Minister Tsipras had negotiations on a reform and austerity measures, which should pave the way for the disbursement of billions in loans stopped, and scheduled a referendum on the final status of negotiations on Sunday.

Juncker started daring initiative

Greece threatens a financial mess. On Monday the government had to close the country’s banks, the maximum sum that Greeks must stand out in cash, was limited. It is already spoken about the possibility of Grexits.

Already on Monday night was European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker launched an initiative to defuse the situation. In a telephone conversation he explained Tsipras that there were still opportunities to avert national bankruptcy.

diplomats said Juncker offered an extension of the current aid program. Condition is that the head of government for reform and austerity confess that to him from the European Commission, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund sent late last week the Troika.

When convened Sunday referendum Tsipras should also promote a Yes. Their will, he should express in letters to Juncker, Euro group chief Jeroen Dijsselbloem, Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) and French President Francois Hollande.

However, the initiative was considered daring. Because until recently it was not clear whether it is at all technically and legally possible. The point at which an extension of the loan program would still be possible seemed so far to be at least long passes.

The German Bundestag and five other parliaments in the Euro -Staaten would support an extension. If the euro partners Greece decide to extend, without complying with the procedures, threaten at the end suits, among others before the Federal Constitutional Court.

The European Commission expressed not how the extension would be possible technically and legally. Juncker made a proposal for a “last minute deal”, said a spokesman. Also, Juncker had voted with euro group chief Dijsselbloem

Merkel:. “The door is open for discussion threads”

It was not clear last, as Tsipras would react. The Prime Minister had yet been very clearly indicated its opposition to the reforms and austerity measures. Likely referencing Now for approval him very difficult.

In Athens it is said to have the offer Junckers initially rejected so, was but then again on a conciliatory line swung. Perhaps he was willing to soften the call to reject the proposals. But these are still speculations. In circles of the Federal Government it does not anticipate that the initiative will be successful. You’ll be late, as that one still could extend the program.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she assume that the utility will overnight expire. “I know of no other reliable evidence,” she said. “All I know is that the last offer of the Commission, which is known to me, one last Friday week.”

Merkel stressed but that it continues to stay in the offer of talks with Athens: “Of course,” would not cut threads after midnight conversation, which was not common in the European Union. “That is, the door is open for conversation threads.”



Gabriel asks to cancel the referendum

The SPD chairman Sigmar Gabriel called on Tsipras to renounce to his recent alternative claim for the scheduled Sunday referendum. “The best thing would be if Mr. Tsipras cancels the referendum,” Gabriel said Tuesday on the outskirts of the SPD parliamentary group meeting. Then one can also quickly talk about the new application. However, no one should expect a rapid agreement between donors and Athens, stressed Gabriel. A solution is very complicated. With the expiry of the second program, the European Central Greece should be no further funding. Should it be necessary, Union and SPD want to re-start this Friday fraction special sessions.

Gabriel and SPD parliamentary leader Thomas Oppermann were on Tuesday afternoon for an interview with the CDU chairman, Chancellor Merkel, and Union parliamentary leader Volker Kauder (CDU) met. About ten minutes advised the leaders on Tsipras’ current letter, it was then in SPD circles. Then Gabriel emphasized, in light deviation to his remarks on Monday: “The door is open.” Berlin have always signaled that one is to “immediate talks” ready Tsipras should cancel the referendum. Gabriel emphasized that the second aid program run by 30 June from. The construction of a third aid program will not be easy.



Bundestag is in summer recess vote capable

Last time was in environment Troika been stressed that one ready would for a positive outcome of the referendum, to discuss on the basis of previous decisions a third loan program.

SPD parliamentary leader Thomas Oppermann praised foray Juncker, perhaps to find a last-minute solution to the Athens government: “. It is a last appeal to reason Mr Tsipras, still to take responsibility”

In an agreement with Greece, the Bundestag could advise short term and in the summer in a special session over, according to Oppermann. “We are always ready,” Oppermann said Tuesday before a group meeting in Berlin.

The Juncker initiative is in Berlin rather than symbolic signal before Seen scheduled for Sunday referendum to give the pro-European forces in Greece with the embassy lift, Brussels Leave no stone unturned.

Athens will start last in agreement attempt reform dispute – Reuters Germany

– Lefteris Papadimas and Renee Maltezou

Athens / BRUSSELS (Reuters) – Just before the end of its utility, the Greek Government started a last attempt to settle the dispute with the reform of the euro zone.

The euro zone finance ministers did on Tuesday night by telephone to advise on the proposal, the euro rescue fund ESM to tap into for two years, to avoid bankruptcy. In addition, Athens again demanded a debt relief. Whether engage the euro-zone countries it was questionable. For the turbulence of bankruptcy they saw armed themselves. The utility should end at midnight. A repayment of € 1.6 billion to the International Monetary Fund held back the government in Athens.

“Greece remains at the negotiating table”, the office of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras declared , With the money of the ESM the financial requirements for two years should be covered. The goal is a “viable solution to remain in the euro zone”. Whether therefore also a commitment to the reform requirements of the donors should be connected, was initially unclear. In the Letter to the euro zone Tsipras proposed to extend the utility for a short time and to convert them into a debt restructuring program. Such a bridge financing the Greeks had called several months ago, were so but always failed in the creditors who insist on vigorous structural reforms.

Redeliberations the Eurogroup

Euro group chief Jeroen Dijsselbloem sat on Tuesday: 19.00 clock a conference call of euro ministers to the Greek advising proposal. However, little was evidence that the expiry of the aid program could still be averted. Greece would have to submit a new application. Chancellor Angela Merkel made clear in the Union Group, according to participants that before the Greek reform referendum on Sunday would not advise it. Previously already had the head of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, advertised to reach an agreement at the last minute and called on the Greeks still agree to the reform requirements, but was rebuffed so.

The Volte from Athens came as a surprise after Tsipras, the referendum on the scale of its Politics had made. He said on Monday evening in a television interview that his government would indeed also respect a “Yes”: “We will not be the ones who carry them out (the reforms).” In this case, he pointed to his resignation: “If the people want a humiliated prime minister, there are a few out there but I will not be..” Polls for the referendum were not known until Tuesday. The government hopes that a “no” vote tailwind for new negotiations on the conditions for further billions of aid from euro zone and IMF.

Juncker had suggested that Tsipras accept the proposals of donors in writing and should begin in the referendum for a ‘yes’. The euro zone finance ministers would then have to approve a transfer to Athens even on Tuesday. He also presented talks on debt relief in prospect. A spokesman for Juncker said that the government in Athens had not moved. A German government official said: “For an extension of the program, it is now too late.” Continued …

SMS sending, mobile Making calls and surf the Internet, all this has become more favorable. And even in other EU countries, because the EU has set caps on roaming charges. Now, the mark-ups should fall

A frantic call to the counter in the head -. And then still on vacation? This should come to an end. The EU wants to abolish the so-called roaming charges for mobile phone calls, Internet surfing and sending SMS in another EU country within two years.

At least for the most part it would then pass the extra costs for consumers.

will be available from June 15, 2017 no roaming serves more

The answer is: Yes largely. Who, for example, has free quotas of telephone minutes, SMS or data, this can be used just like at home, as the EU commission explained then in other EU countries. So-called “roaming permanent” but should be excluded – while users would buy their SIM card for mobile phones in cheaper abroad, but they use at home. In order to prevent such a thing, provider may levy charges for the achievement of certain levels of calls, SMS or data. This should however be well below the current ceilings. What does that mean in detail, the EU Commission to draft.

sinking the charge units before the summer 2017?

In an intermediate step to the roaming surcharges on April 30, 2016 . fall Then may Loud Communication calls in other EU countries cost only 5 cents per minute in addition, when SMS is 2 cents and surfing every megabyte of data may suggest a maximum of 5 penny extra to book. Add to that the tax. Thus, the maximum total price

still is, according to the European Commission significantly below the current price ceilings by more than 19 cents for outgoing calls, 6 cents per SMS and 20 cents per megabyte of data plus VAT. It is also an agreement on net neutrality. What is it?

This means that Internet service providers on an equal footing with their lines send all packets, no matter where they come from or what content they have. There are for this “open Internet” no European rules, only individual EU countries have rules. But the amount of data grows and with it the risk of congestion in the network. Therefore, it was discussed whether not but some Internet users should get priority in special cases.

What has been decided about it?

No one should be allowed to buy his right of way on the internet, such as the European Commission explained. When things get tight, providers may, however, the traffic rules, but just normally regardless of content. In addition, there are ways to combat illegal content such as child pornography or against cyber attacks. So-called special services, such as telemedicine or TV on the Internet should not displace other uses and are only offered if there is sufficient capacity.

Is that all now decided definitively?

Extensively. On the night of Tuesday, negotiators of the European Parliament and the EU member states have agreed. The EU Commission, which had proposed the changes, was sitting at the table. Now both the EU Member States and the Parliament must officially confirm the agreement. Mostly this works without problems. In addition, still need to be worked out some details. For this part, the European Commission in charge.
