EU vp out on the wires a short while ago as the first of the w-e meetings gets under way

  • sees a willingness of Greece to reach agreement

On the other hand a Dutch fin min official has said

"We have serious concerns about Greek ability to implement reforms"

  • clearly a step must be made by Greece to restore trust of financing parties

And the Irish fin min said

  • trust is being rebuilt
  • Greek proposal is silent on banking
  • important to see whether Greek plan would lead to economy growing
  • significant damage has been done to Greek banking system and to wider economy

Oh to be a fly on the wall in that meeting

I have to head out to a music event now but will pop by this evening and post what's been happening if the other guys haven't been along prior

Enjoy your w-e everyone and don't stay glued to your screens. Not much you can do about the outcome of the w-e events..Get some rest ready to do battle once markets re-open
