The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has for the time being retrieved his negotiators from Brussels to Washington. The International Monetary Fund sees the talks with Greece to resolve the debt dispute currently large differences. “There is in most important ways big differences between us,” said IMF spokesman Gerry Rice. These were last not bridged. “We are still far from an agreement.”
The IMF team have therefore left the negotiations in Brussels and had traveled back to Washington. A timetable for further talks did not exist. But Rice also pointed out that the IMF emphasize, to continue to participate “fully” in the talks with Greece.
The IMF team was last two weeks at the pieces have been on site in Brussels. But According to information of the “world”, there has been hardly any meetings with Greek officials on which something was discussed. In diplomatic circles it is said that the IMF had gone because of “frustration with the Greeks”, “the fool us”.
Even Greek negotiators leave Brussels
The step does not mean that Europeans and the IMF are at odds in the negotiation strategy. “The withdrawal is not intended as a signal to Europeans,” it said. The IMF will come back as soon as Greece wanted to talk seriously. As the IMF delegation left the Greek negotiator Brussels. “They’re all gone,” said a person from the environment of the Greek delegation.
Virtually the withdrawal of the International Monetary Fund initially has little meaning. For weeks now little more structured negotiations between the institutions and the Greek officials will take place. At most informally to keep the technical officers involved via telephone on state. The so-called “Brussels Group” however, have for some time not met, says a diplomat.
“The ball is now in the far field of the Greeks,” Rice said. Big hurdles admit it continue with pensions, taxes and debt financing. “It was last given here not approach,” said IMF spokesman Rice. IMF chief Christine Lagarde will attend as planned in Luxembourg on meeting of euro zone finance ministers on June 18, Rice said. The status of talks at the political level, he did not comment.
“euro exit of Greece moved closer today”
Opponents of further aid for Greece in the European Union use the departure of the IMF to increase the pressure on their own faction. “The demolition of Greece calls by the IMF is a clear signal that a viable solution to the sovereign debt crisis in the southern European country apparently is no longer possible,” said Hans Michelbach, Deputy of the CSU group in the Bundestag, the “world”.
“The withdrawal of Greece from the euro zone is nearer to the day probably a big step. Without the involvement of the IMF also eliminates any basis for disbursement the final installment of the second auxiliary program, “said Michelbach. The Union faction in the Bundestag is further aid for Greece in parts skeptical.
The European Commission, the European Central Bank and the IMF to negotiate with Greece since February on a binding reform program. Only through this can Greece received so far blocked aid money from the end of June expiring second rescue package amounting to 7.2 billion euros in order to avoid the threat of bankruptcy. Since 2010 the country has a total already received 240 billion euros aid.
Juncker speaks again with Tsipras
Meanwhile, has come together again with the Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras EU Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker. “This was an important, interesting and friendly meeting,” Juncker said after the two-hour meeting in Brussels. Tsipras assured that it would continue working on an agreement between donors and his country.
According to diplomats Juncker explained a method that a timely agreement with the Geldgeber- Institutions Commission, International Monetary Fund (IMF) and European Central Bank (ECB) would allow. Both leaders wanted to remain in the coming days in close contact, it said.
