Merkel-Junker-Dijssenbloem after EU Summit

EU leaders' statements

Newsroom February 13 12:40

German Chancellor Angela Merkel:

-Meeting with PM A. Tsipras was a highly amiable occasion

– Today’s summit meeting hardly focused only on Greek matters

– I am more than willing to collaborate with Mr. Tsipras

– Greece’s bailout program is still in effect, though it should be prolonged

– I am really looking forward to hearing new suggestions

– It is my conviction that now is the time to wait in anticipation of mutual proposals

– German Chancellor holds firm belief that the existing bailout program is in effect, yet what is still open is the question of its extension.

– We did not enter into negotiations – Mr. Tsipras asked for help on technical changes

European Commission President Jean–Claude Juncker:

-We plan to replace 30% of the Greek program with new economic and structural measures

-We need a deal on Greece by Monday

Eurogroup Chief Jeroen Dijssenbloem:
