At the end of December a new Executive Director was appointed on behalf of the EU to the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). Until the end of February, this senior official will still be Head of the Task Force for Greece.

2.What will happen afterwards with the Task Force for Greece, particularly since it has been stated that he is being transferred ‘internally’ in the interest of the service?
