Grèce : la réforme des expulsions hypothécaire n’est pas assez méchante, l’UE menace de ne pas verser les montants promis pour octobre.

The European Union’s agreement to provide Greece with the 86 billion euros, or $95 billion, bailout that Athens needs to stay solvent is beginning to show signs of strain, with creditors threatening to delay an October payment as Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras struggles to implement promised austerity reforms.
On Monday, Valdis Dombrovskis, a senior European Commission official charged with assessing how well Greece is abiding by its August commitments, said that the EU and Greece still disagree on how to toughen foreclosure laws. Right now, an estimated 320,000 Greeks are in arrears, or behind in their home loan payments. This represents about 40 percent of all Greek home loans.
Tsipras’ government wants cover for borrowers with homes worth up to 300,000 euros, or $331,185, and who earn up to 35,000 euros, or $38,638 per year. That would account for about 75 percent of the loans now in arrears. According to the leftist Greek government, the EU’s counterproposal — protection for homes worth up to just 120,000 euros, or $132,474 — would leave 80 percent of the Greek borrowers who are behind on home payments at risk of losing their homes to foreclosure.
