German Chancellor Angela Merkel, speaking with ZDF TV on the weekend:
- Said she expects the IMF will be a part of the next Greek bailout
- "Mrs. Lagarde, the chief of the IMF, made very clear that if these conditions are met, then she will recommend to the IMF board that the IMF takes part in the program from October"
- "I have no doubts that what Mrs. Lagarde said will become reality"
Merkel is trying to rally support for the vote in Germany's parliament on Wednesday on the 86 billion euro bailout package for Greece.
