The State Secretary and the Greek Deputy Minister continued with the negotiations which commenced between Bern and Athens over a year ago on tax cooperation between the two countries. Within the framework of the Greek Presidency of the EU, the two parties also discussed tax issues concerning the European Union.
In addition, the visit served to prepare a meeting between Federal Councillor Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf and the Greek Minister of Finance, Yannis Stournaras. That meeting will take place in Athens on 4 February 2014.
