German government says ball is in Greece’s court
Germany wants Greece to remain in the eurozone but it is up to Athens to agree a package of reform measures with its international creditors that brings the necessary fiscal and structural effects, a German government spokesman said.
“It is up to Greece to reach an agreement with the three institutions,” government spokesman Steffen Seibert told a regular government news conference on Monday.
“We want Greece to stay in the eurozone.”
Asked if German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble had offered Greece help in the event that it were to leave the eurozone, a Finance Ministry spokesman said: “No.”
