The EU and Greece: exiting IMF-Europe rather than the Euro

The end of the European aid programme to Greece on the 30th June and the organisation of a referendum in this country on 5th July have one point in common: they open up the prospect of ending the “IMF – Europe” era opened under the pressure of the crisis. It is necessary to come out of this on top, for three reasons:

• To adopt national and European measures that enable Greece to return to the financial markets
• To cease relations based on accounting conditionality and revive political cooperation
• To clear the accounts of the “IMF – Europe” era on the basis of shared responsibilities
