The Irish Instances - Thursday, March 17,Windows 7 Key, 2011EU and IMF accept Government proposals that vary from terms of rescue package
HARRY McGEE and PAUL CULLENSENIOR OFFICIALS through the IMF and then the European Union have raised no objection to your Coalition’s programme for authorities although it contains proposals that run counter towards the conditions in the €85 billion rescue bundle agreed with the previous Fianna Fáil-led federal government.Minister for Finance Michael Noonan and Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform Brendan Howlin yesterday met Ajai Chopra, the European deputy director of the IMF, the ECB’s chief economist Klaus Masuch and Istvan Szekely, a senior official with the European Commission.The meeting, which took place at the invitation of the new Government, lasted almost two hours.Speaking after the meeting, Mr Noonan and Mr Howlin said the “troika” of bodies had agreed in principle that the conditions laid down in the memorandum of understanding agreed last November could be changed to accommodate the new programme for government as long as the overall targets remained unchanged.“There are flexibilities as long as the overall envelope is the same for the Government to make the policy choices we have outlined in the programme for government,” he said.Mr Noonan said the details of the changes would have to be worked out when the officials from the IMF and EU return to Ireland in April for the first quarterly review of how the memorandum is being implemented.“They have agreed to that principle. The detail of the change will be discussed subsequently. What’s taken out and put in must have the same fiscal effect,” he said.Mr Noonan, when asked if the officials found any aspect of the programme unacceptable, replied: “No, if there is,microsoft Office 2010 keygen, they have not said it.”The Minister also said he did not believe the Government’s decision to restore the minimum wage to €8.65 would create difficulties – a reduction of the minimum wage to €7.65 was one of the conditions of the memorandum.“I don’t think the minimum wage will be a problem. But what we were discussing was the fact that the troika accepts that we are meeting the fiscal targets over the period in Authorities and they have endorsed that approach,” he said.Mr Howlin said that one of the first targets of the memorandum was missed when the previous government delayed transferring €10 billion for bank recapitalisation.He said the recapitalisation was contingent on the results of the stress tests of the banks, which will be complete on March 31st. He said that once that happened, Mr Noonan would bring his proposals to Federal government.Mr Noonan agreed that more than €10 billion may be required but said he did not know “at this stage” how much more was needed. In relation to your restructuring of finance into two separate departments, Mr Howlin said the IMF and EU had expressed no opinion on it.He said the division between the fiscal,Office 2010 Professional Key, taxation and banking side on the one hand, in addition to the expenditure and public service management side, had happened from the moment of the appointment of the two Ministers.“It’s entirely co-operative and is working extremely well. There will be requirement for legislation, to create the new department.“It’s done elsewhere. It’s the model in other countries and I think the partnership we have already forged in working on the programme for authorities and previously in Cabinet is a good augury.”In a short statement issued later yesterday, the IMF said the meeting was an opportunity to hear the views of the new Government on its economic programme.“The discussions covered the economic outlook in addition to the financial sector and are an important input into next month’s review mission [to Ireland],” it said.The IMF in Washington declined to elaborate on its short statement,Office 2007 Pro, but is likely to comment in detail at next month’s review of the memorandum of understanding.The memorandum provided for quarterly reviews, but the first was postponed because of the general election. As a result,Office 2007 Professional Key, the first and second reviews are being combined and therefore the results will be released in the first half of April.
