EuroGroup President Jeroen Dijsslebloem said the meeting was short adding that the debate was not intense. As he explained during the press conference, the Finance Ministers received the reports drafted by technical staff in Athens in order to move rapidly forward with the 3rd review of the Greek programme.

I have great respect for the reforms that the Greeks have been asked to carry out over the last years and I am aware that not only political decisions were taken but they were also approved by the Parliament, the President of the Federal Republic of Germany Frank Walter Steinmeier said in statements to the press on the sidelines of the Greek President Prokopios Pavlopoulos' visit to Berlin.

Greece’s latest deal with the Eurogroup—the group of eurozone finance ministers—is bigger news than you might think from the press reactions so far.
