• Says in “very decisive phase” on Greece, everyone should weigh their words.
  • Told Greek Pm there is still a lot to do , every day counts in strengthening reform drive.
  • After speaking with Samaras , she believes he is making serious efforts.
  • ECB is fulfilling its mandate, not unusual that there is discussion within ECB council.
  • Says its good Weidmann issues warnings to politicians, sees Bundesbank influence within ECB as positive .
  • No indication that IMF will pull out of Greek Aid programme.
  • Says ESM, fiscal compact necessary and in German interests, believes government has made good arguments before September 12 th court ruling .

Will go along with Gerry about the Greeks getting a bit of an extension , but will probably have to wait on the IMF(Troika) for their decision in September/October (or maybe they combine it with Christmas presents to Spain and Italy too ).
