Troika says agreement with Greek government reached

The government has also "committed to take steps to bring public administration reforms back on track", including pushing through plans to reduce the number of civil servants, one of the required measures that has been among the most contentious -- and delayed -- in the bailout programme.

The government must put 12,500 civil servants on administrative leave by the end of 2013, with the possibility of dismissal. Those targeted include 2,200 school security personnel, 3,500 members of the Athens municipal police, which will be disbanded and most of its members absorbed into Greece's police force, at least 2,000 local government employees, 1,500 teachers and several employees of various ministries.

They will be paid 75 percent of their normal salary and if they aren't transferred to other state agencies within eight months of being put on leave, they will be subject to dismissal.
