with the reforms and the Greek programme, do not want an agreement.

a group of countries insisted on the issue of credibility, without
however specifying what exactly they want".
"It is clear that some countries do not want the agreement" noted the
same sources.
[02] Moscovici: We want deep reforms in Greece
"We want Greece to make deep reforms as member of the eurozone" stated
European Commissioner for Economic Affairs Pierre Moscovici on Sunday
before the restart of the Eurogroup meeting " The discussions yesterday
(Saturday) he noted were long and difficult and today we must focus on
the conditions, that must be fulfilled, in order the negotiations for
the new programme to start.
"The Greek government must do more in a short and long term period" said
the French Commissioner noting that the conditions must be implemented
rapidly.
"We need a financially ambitious and politically realistic agreement"
he said adding "The people expect from us to rise to the occasion and
to secure Greece's position in the eurozone".
Concluding, Moscovici said "We hope that at the end of the day we will
have an agreement that will secure eurozone's integrity".
