-The agreement with Dijssenbloem means that consultations will continue in a positive mood

– Many scenarios regarding crisis and bankruptcy circulated about what will happen if Greece did not sign the extension – We did not sign, no disaster occurred

– The transition from the Memorandum is the main item on the Eurogroup agenda on Monday

-The Greek delegation made an important step – Negotiations continue

– beginning tomorrow experts committees will work towards assisting in negotiations

-Forget about the memorandum and the Troika in the form we knew them – They don’t exist
