"We must decide the disbursement of the next tranche so that the uncertainties still existing on the Greek issue will be lifted. It is important for Greece, but also for Europe. I call on the member states and the INF to take the final step for a solution to be found, because we are just a fraction away from one," Rehn said.

He opined that the Eurogroup can take a political decision "today" for the disbursement of the tranche to Greece.
