Live on Bloomberg TV

00:00HANS, LET ME START WITH YOU AS WE DID YESTERDAY. ARE WE JUST WAITING FOR TOMORROW OR WAITING FOR THURSDAY, OR CAN SOMETHING GET DONE THIS TUESDAY? HANS: THERE IS A WORKING GROUP TODAY, BUT THAT IS TOO TECHNICAL TO BORE YOU WITH. WE ARE IN A DEBATE ABOUT MEANS. SO MUCH OF THE FOUR MONTHS HAS BEEN A DEBATE ABOUT THE ENDS. THEY AGREED TO THAT YESTERDAY. MR. DOMBROWSKI TOLD US THAT. THEY HAVE THE END POINT. NOW WE NEED A DEBATE ON MEANS AND VERIFICATION. WHAT GUY IS REPORTING ON IN ATHENS IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS WHAT IS HAPPENING IN BRUSSELS. IS THE DEAL PALATABLE TO VOTERS IN ATHENS? BRENDAN: I'M GOING TO THROW HIS QUESTION TO YOU IN ATHENS. DID ALEXIS TSIPRAS CAVE, OR IS HE GETTING A DEAL DONE? GUY: IT IS TOO EARLY TO TELL, BECAUSE WE DO NOT KNOW HOW HIS PARTY IS GOING TO REACT TO IT. I HAVE TO SAY, WE ARE AT THE EARLY STAGES OF TAKING THE TEMPERATURE OF THE LEFT FACTION OF THE COALITION GOVERNMENT, AND IT IS BY NO MEANS CLEAR THAT THOSE PARLIAMENTARIANS WILL VOTE THIS THROUGH. WE ARE WATCHING BRUSSELS, BUT IT IS A DUAL TRACK WE ARE WATCHING. WILL BRUSSELS GO FOR IT? CAN ALEXIS TSIPRAS SELL IT TO HIS OWN PARLIAMENT? BY NO MEANS ARE EITHER OF THOSE TWO THINGS CLEAR. IT IS NOT EVEN CLEAR OF THE LEADER OF THE HOUSE WILL ALLOW AN EXCEPTIONAL PROCEDURAL VOTE TO TAKE PLACE ON SUNDAY OR MONDAY. NONE OF THIS IS CLEAR. THIS IS BY NO MEANS A DONE DEAL. BRENDAN: SOME BRASS TACKS GETTING NEGOTIATED IN BRUSSELS. AMONG THEM, INCREASED PENSION CONTRIBUTIONS, EARLIER PENSION CONTRIBUTIONS, AND ALSO INCREASES TO THE VAT TAX AT TAVERNS. HAVE ANY TAVERN OWNERS COMPLAIN TO YOU? GUY: I HAVE NOT HEARD ABOUT THAT, BUT THIS IS A -- A SERIOUS ECONOMY. THE TOURISM INDUSTRY IS PIVOTAL. THIS FEEDS BACK INTO THE ELECTORAL STORY. IF WE WERE NOT TO GET TSIPRAS ABLE TO GET THIS VOTE THROUGH, YOU COULD SEE EARLY ELECTIONS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TOURISM SEASON. WE HAVE NEVER DONE THAT BEFORE, AND NOBODY WANTS TO FIND OUT WHAT THE IMPACT WOULD BE. LIFE SHOULD BECOME -- BE
