Greece, creditors agree to technical talks

(Vatican Radio) Eurozone ministers agreed to a Wednesday start to technical talks between Greek finance experts and Greece’s international creditors, with the aim of unlocking further emergency funding for the government in Athens.

The new Greek government has been making efforts to assure voters it takes election promises to break with EU-imposed austerity seriously, and has argued over the form and venue for detailed talks required to establish its needs and determine whether it has met conditions the creditors have set on reforms.
