Greece is negotiating for a comprehensive agreement, prior actions, government sources say

"The non-participation of the IMF in the political negotiation means nothing more than pressure to Commission, ECB and Greece," government sources said.

The Greek government's proposal focuses on:

- low primary surpluses for 2015 and 2016 in order to break the austerity reproduction mechanism

- no salary and pension cuts; that is measures that will enhance injustice and bring economy back to recession

- public debt restructuring

- strong investment programme (development package)

Regarding Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras' contacts in Brussels, government sources said that "the government, after the contacts with Merkel, Hollande, Juncker and other European officials, is ready, as agreed, to intensify negotiations in order for a solution to be found soon. That is why it will continue working on open issues, such as fiscal and debt sustainability issues.

On the role of Brussels Group and the IMF's stance, the same sources underlined that "the Greek side has repeatedly said that negotiations at technical levels and the Brussels Group have been concluded and that that the "negotiation continues at a political level."
