The European Commission denied former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis’s claims it controls Greek tax system.
Mina Andreeva, a commission spokeswoman, said such claims were "false and unfounded."
The tax revenue agency is a quasi-independent entity responsible for tax administration, Andreeva told reporters.
"The Commission and IMF only provide technical assistance, they certainly do not control" the body, she added disputing a central claim by Yanis Varoufakis that Greece’s creditors had control of the computer systems of the tax offices, forcing him to consider hacking into it.
Varoufakis made the claim in a leaked conference call with London investors, during which he said he had been secretly building a parallel money system that involved hacking into his ministry's computers because the troika and Brussels controlled the agency while he, as minister, could not access the system.
Andreeva also added more reforms are "expected" by the Greek parliament "to allow for a swift disbursement" of funds.
Creditors are still aiming to get a deal struck by the second week of August, to allow ESM funds to be used to payback the ECB on August 20, Andreeva said.
