As pressure builds on Greece to implement economic reforms in order to secure crucial rescue funding, the country’s representative to the Euro Working Group presented to his eurozone counterparts the six proposals Greece intends to make at Monday’s Eurogroup meeting in Brussels.

During a teleconference discussion, Giorgos Houliarakis fleshed out the six proposed reforms Athens intends to discuss with representatives of the country’s international creditors in a bid to clinch a portion of a 7.2-billion-euro pending loan installment.

Those measures include tackling the country’s humanitarian crisis, reforming the public administration, introducing a payment scheme for Greeks with debts to the state and overhauling tax collection.

Greek efforts to prepare the ground for the Eurogroup came as European officials indicated that the country has little room for maneuver.

At a joint press conference with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker in Brussels, German Chancellor Angela Merkel refused to speculate on the possible need of a third loan package for Greece, noting that much work remained with the current program. “I think we now have all our hands full to make this… succeed,” Merkel said.

Juncker struck a similar note, saying that talk about a possible third program was “premature” and “best avoided.” He underlined the importance of Greece implementing a recent agreement with its creditors and warned against unilateral action, noting that any social measures must be offset by others raising the required revenue.

Eurogroup President Jeroen Dijsselbloem was tougher in an interview with Dutch TV, noting that “there is a lot of rhetoric on the domestic level.” “They won the elections with lots of promises that they do not have the money to realize,” he said of the new government.

German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble was also unwavering. “Before any more aid is released, Athens must prove that it has implemented the agreed terms,” he said, adding that if Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis tries to change those terms, he will be doing so at his own risk.

Varoufakis on Wednesday appointed four general secretaries, for economic policy, fiscal policy, information systems and public assets.
