Laconic response to Reuters dispatch on Berlin position at Euro working group

“The document issued by German Ministry of Finance and published by Reuters indicates that already German government formally entered negotiations”

“The German government has formally entered negotiations,” was Athens’ laconic response on Wednesday afternoon following the publication – by Reuters – of a confidential German government report towards the Euro Working Group, reportedly requesting that the current Greek bailout program continue.

A further statement by Athens merely said that the “German ultimatum will not be accepted”.
