The latest on Greece
The Tuesday EU meeting has finished
- Plenty of comments from various ministers and leaders (scroll down from comments from Merkel, Tsipras, Hellande .... and more)
- Saturday finance minister meeting planned, then a Sunday leaders summit. Sunday has been set as another deadline
In a nutshell:
European leaders set a Sunday deadline to rescue Greece, saying otherwise they'll take the unprecedented step of propelling the country out of the euro.
Greece's ... government was given five days to make new economic reform proposals that could earn another aid package and save it from financial ruin.
"We have only a few days left to find a solution," German Chancellor Angela Merkel told reporters late Tuesday after euro-area leaders met in Brussels. She conceded that she is "not especially optimistic."
