Greek negotiators "do not agree" with their creditors` latest proposals for a deal to prevent Athens from defaulting on its massive debts, a Greek government source said Wednesday, but added that talks were continuing.
"Negotiations continue at all levels," the official added.
Brussels: "The Greek delegation went (to Brussels) for discussions on the basis of Monday`s proposals. The institutions in turn submitted a new proposal that weighs unfairly on workers and pensioners."
The source added that the latest measures suggested by Greece`s IMF and EU creditors "spare the richest" Greeks from shouldering enough of the burden.
The suggestions notably include more restrictive conditions on pensions and higher hikes in value-added tax than Athens had proposed at the beginning of this week.
But the EU and IMF creditors have also proposed lower corporation tax than Athens -- 28 percent as opposed to Athens` suggestion of maintaining the current rates of 26 to 29 percent.
The Greek official spoke as eurozone finance ministers suspended a crunch meeting aimed at reaching a deal, with talks to resume Thursday.
