The Eurogroup meeting, a second in a row after Sunday’s, is under way to discuss the technical details of the deal agreed upon between Greece and the other leaders of the EU-19 Summit to save the country from defaulting on its debts and remain within the Eurozone. The Finance Ministers are expected among other things to hammer out a bridge-loan for Greece, until the ESM loan is finalized. Finance Ministers are arriving at the building:
Eurogroup president Jeroen Dijsselbloem arrived at the meeting but did not make any statements to the media.
Pierre Moscovici-EC Finance Commissioner
“It is an important agreement that gives a boost to the Greek government to move forward with reforms”
Finland Finance Minister-Alexander Stubb
“We are all in favor of Europe. We have shown our solidarity, as long as there is commitment, focus and trust”.
