Dijsselbloem spox: Overall Greek social security reforms not the subject of document sent to EZ ministers

A spokesman for Eurogroup chairman Jeroen Dijsselbloem on Wednesday clarified that “measures” cited in a document forwarded by the latter to Euro zone finance ministers does not deal with more reforms to Greece’s overall social security system, but with specific issues, such as a minimum guaranteed monthly income framework.

Eyebrows were raised in Athens a day earlier, when a document submitted to the Dutch Parliament by Dijsselbloem referred to social security issues and labor market reforms as being on the agenda of talks between institutional creditors and the Greek government during meetings on Nov. 14.
