Finance ministry dismisses FAZ report

Greece's finance ministry on Sunday strongly criticised an article appearing in the German newspaper "Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung" (FAZ Sunday edition), saying that it undermined the negotiations underway, as well as Europe.

Any FAS readers that actually searched the minutes from the Eurogroup Working Group (EWG) meeting would be hard pressed to justify either FAS's headline or the contents of the article, a finance ministry announcement said.
Citing unnamed participants in the EWG meeting, FAS claimed eurozone officials were "shocked at Greece's failure to outline plans for structural reforms" at last week's talks in Brussels and accused the Greek representative at the meeting of behaving like a "taxi driver".
