For, first, it is not known to me, secondly, the Commission does not have jurisdiction, but maybe there’s also a message that the Speaker has agreed with Greece an extension to twelve months. I can tell you that we have tomorrow euro group meeting. Since the Greek finance minister for the first time demonstrate the ideas of the Greek authorities, the Euro group. We will take note and consider what may be the next steps. “

Only then could, if necessary, if anyone has the desire or interest, talk about it. When I put it on the public statements become of Athens, fits together as nothing. But then we have no program soon. “
