the focus shifted to elaborating fiscal rules and enhanced monitoring mechanisms, although next steps
were defined for the expenditure control agenda

revenue administration: By early 2014, the authorities will transform the administration into a semi autonomous agency. Concerning staff accountability, strong criteria for hiring, dismissal, and rotation for auditors and other key managers will be established as well as performance targets. The fourth program review—in Q3 2013—will have a focus on revenue administration

Defining a plan for improving social security collection. The newly adopted action plan (meeting a program structural benchmark) envisages: (i) strengthening the recovery of arrears; (ii) enforcing filing; (iii) a new framework for settlement and penalty arrangements; and (iv) full integration of collection activities into the tax administration in the long run (beginning with consolidation into the largest social security fund). The plan should help the authorities address continuing shortfalls in social security fund revenue and the accumulation of contribution debt (3½ percent of GDP at end 2011).

Greece’s European partners insisted that Greece adopt stronger fiscal rules as an upfront priority.
Thus the government will set quarterly fiscal targets for line ministries, state enterprises, and local governments, and establish mechanisms for sanctions. From a cross-country perspective, annual and medium-term sectoral expenditure ceilings are used in some member states (Austria, France, Italy, and Portugal) and have performed well.
  • Establishing General Directorates of Financial Services (GDFS). These directorates will become the center of financial management in line ministries, replacing multiple units responsible for financial services and consolidating the control of expenditure commitments.
  • Extending the use of commitment registers. As a prior action, the authorities brought the national health service—one of the largest spending units in the government—into e-portal reporting. Looking forward, they aim to integrate almost 720 small general government entities into the system of reporting and use of commitment registers
