Greece is preparing to
present a list of reforms to lenders in order to secure a bailout extension. Under
Friday's deal, the list must be approved by international creditors to secure
the four-month loan extension.
He told Greece's Mega
Channel on Sunday that reforms would take the Greek economy "out of
sedation".
Germany's Bild daily
newspaper, citing sources close to the Greek government, reports that Greece
aims to recover 7.3bn euros with measures to combat tax evasion.
German Foreign
Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier told Bild that the extension agreement reached
on Friday with European finance ministers had given the region "some
breathing space, nothing more". "Now it's up to Athens," he
added. Greece's list of reforms must be approved before eurozone members ratify
a bailout extension on Tuesday.
'Long road ahead'
Greek Finance Minister
Yanis Varoufakis has said that "the agreement is dead" if the list of
reforms are not agreed.
The BBC's Mark Lowen
in Athens says that although the Greek government may suggest reforms to tackle
tax evasion, re-employ sacked civil servants and increase social spending, in
reality it will be forced to adhere too many of the austerity demands of the
original bailout.
On Friday, German
Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble stressed that there would be no payment of
new funds to Greece until the conditions of the deal had been met.
The four-month
extension deal is widely regarded as a major climb down for Prime Minister
Alexis Tsipras, who won power vowing to reverse budget cuts.
On Saturday Greek Mr Tsipras
said in a televised address that his government had "won a battle, not the
war".
He called the deal an
"important negotiating success" but warned that there was a "long
and difficult road ahead".
