The unknown negotiation between the Greek government and Troika for the auctions

The crack between the EU, ECB and IMF was confirmed by the negotiations on the issue of auctions culminating in the milder bill that was passed Saturday in the Greek parliament. According to information released by Proto Thema Sunday, EE and ECB had no disagreement with the plan presented by the Ministry of Development in contrast with IMF which insisted on settings far below the limits that were ultimately passed.

In this context of disagreement were the statements of the head of the EU delegation in Athens Panos Karvounis last week who said that "the EU has never raised the issue of auctions for Greece." This finding shows the crack in the relations between creditors that the Greek government has decided to use in the progress of the negotiations.

IMF demanded a strict limit value for auctions of 120,000 euros (finally came to 200,000 euros), 20,000 euros for the annual family income (with the new law it reaches 35,000 euros) and much lower amounts in the total level of movable and immovable property from the 270,000 euros that were finally legislated.

The variations that were achieved by the negotiation staff of the Development Ministry and the unilateral legislative intervention that did not encounter major problems, make the Greek government consider it has achieved a major negotiating victory that will bring perspective results in the future requirements of new measures by its lenders.
