In his intervention, Government Vice-president and Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos reiterated that the last two EU Council decisions constitute a strategic roadmap for Greece, which mainly includes the implementation of PSI (Private Sector Involvement).

Speaking at the same event, IMF official Paul Thomsen called for more structural reforms and greater flexibility in labour relations while noting that Greece has to proceed to closing down public entities and allow the "non-voluntary departures" of staff.
