New Greek proposals contain few changes: Sueddeutsche Zeitung
BERLIN (Reuters) - Proposals that Greece's new finance minister will present to the Eurogroup on Tuesday do not differ significantly from the reform plans that Greeks rejected in a referendum on Sunday, Germany's Sueddeutsche Zeitung reported on Tuesday.
Without citing a source, the Sueddeutsche said the proposals that Euclid Tsakalotos will present to the group of euro zone finance ministers include keeping a value added tax (VAT) rebate for Greek islands and a VAT rate of 13 percent for restaurants.
The proposals would include limited cuts in defense spending, the newspaper added.
