The Eurogroup has now resumed its discussions after breaking last night following a 9 hour session
Here's some of the latest comments from those attending and there's no doubting the uphill road ahead
Draghi: arrived and refused to say anything
Austria's Schelling:
- sees very difficult Greek talks, still no agreement on a number of points
- still need to seek sufficient Greek guarantees
Finland's Stubb:
- no one is blocking a Greek deal but conditions provided by them are not enough
- still hopeful but a deal is very far away
Italy's Padoan:
- biggest obstacle to Greek deal is lack of trust
(between them and Greece or amongst themselves?)
- would like to see Greek parliament taking measures from tomorrow that needed for Greece in the first place
- 5 months have been wasted but things are changing
- Greece has committed to start showing its will to implement reforms as from tomorrow
Slovakia's Kazmir:
- Greece must front-load reforms to achieve a deal
- it is not possible to reach a deal today
