The statement came by creditors' auditors at the end of a three-day visit this week in Athens.

According to the latter, the measures will be evaluated on the basis of agreed to fiscal targets and commitments that the Tsipras government has assumed vis-a-vis the Eurogroup in the post-bailout period.
