EU And Greece Reach An Agreement To Extend Their Bailout



BBC: Greece bailout extension agreed after eurozone talks

Greece and eurozone nations have agreed a deal to extend financial aid after bailout talks in Brussels.

Eurozone finance ministers reached an agreement to extend Greece's financial rescue by four months.

Dutch finance minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem, head of the Eurogroup, said that Athens had pledged to honour all its debts.

"This is a very positive outcome," he told a news conference on Friday night.


WNU Editor: Greece was lucky to get 4 months .... but I have doubts that they will fulfill their promises. But we shall see. The above commentary posted yesterday sums up the situation perfectly.
