21/09/2012 (Agence Europe) - Talks put on hold. The heads of the troika of lenders to Greece (the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund) are to leave Athens for a week. The Commission has played down the significance of this. The Greek coalition government has yet to identify €2.5 billion of savings, out of the total €11.5 billion for 2013 and 2014, €6.5 billion of which would come from cuts in pay and pensions, €1 billion from increasing the retirement age from 65 to 67 and €1.5 billion from reforms to the civil service, according to Greek newspaper Kathimerini. A national anti-austerity demonstration has been called in Greece for the end of the month. (MB/transl.fl)
