Against this background, in the context of a possible future ESM programme, and in line with the spirit of the Eurogroup statement of November 2012, the Eurogroup stands ready to consider, if necessary, possible additional measures (possible longer grace and payment periods) aiming at ensuring that gross financing needs remain at a sustainable level. These measures will be conditional upon full implementation of the measures to be agreed in a possible new programme and will be considered after the first positive completion of a review

Greece talks: ‘Sorry, but there is no way you are leaving this room’

Anne-Sylvaine Chassany, Alex Barker and Duncan Robinson — Brussels

The closest Greece has come to leaving the eurozone was at around 6am on Monday morning, just as dawn was breaking over Brussels.

Alexis Tsipras of Greece and Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, decided after 14 hours of anguished talks that they had reached a dead end. With no room for compromise, neither saw any reason to carry on. Grexit was the only realistic option.

As the two leaders made for the door it was Donald Tusk, the president of the European Council, who moved to prevent the fatigue and frustration from triggering a historic rupture for the eurozone.

“Sorry, but there is no way you are leaving this room,” the former Polish prime minister said.

The sticking point was the size and purpose of a privatisation fund to be backed by sequestered Greek assets. Ms Merkel wanted the €50bn of sales to be devoted to debt repayments; Mr Tsipras saw that as a national humiliation that would cede control of assets worth almost a third of Greek national income. His alternative was a smaller fund, whose proceeds would be reinvested in Greece.

A compromise was ultimately found after more than an hour discussing nearly a dozen different structures. It was to be the coda to a weekend that featured one of the most exhausting and fraught negotiations in a seemingly interminable crisis that has provided the EU’s sternest test.

After almost nine hours of fruitless discussions on Saturday, a majority of eurozone finance ministers had reached a stark conclusion: Grexit — the exit of Greece from the eurozone — may be the least worst option left.

Michel Sapin, the French finance minister, suggested they just “get it all out and tell one another the truth” to blow off steam. Many in the room seized the opportunity with relish.

The Finnish finance minister lashed out at the Greeks for being unable to reform for half a century, according to two participants. As recriminations flew, Euclid Tsakalotos, the Greek finance minister, was oddly subdued.

The wrangling culminated when Wolfgang Schäuble, the German finance minister who has advocated a temporary Grexit, told off Mario Draghi, European Central Bank chairman. At one point, Mr Schäuble, feeling he was being patronised, fumed at the ECB head that he was “not an idiot”. The comment was one too many for eurogroup chairman Jeroen Dijsselbloem, who adjourned the meeting until the following morning.

“It was extremely hard, violent even,” said one participant.

Failing to reach a full accord on Saturday, the eurogroup handed the baton on Sunday to the bloc’s heads of state to begin their own an all-night session.

As the hours passed and Sunday turned to Monday, the prospect of a Grexit seemed to grow more probable, participants said, heightening divisions between sleep-deprived politicians and diplomats that have developed over six months of mostly frustrating negotiations.

A senior official in the room believed that Germany was now the country that appeared to be acting in bad faith — no longer the Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras. At one point, Mr Tsipras had to endure a lecture from the Slovenian prime minister, to which Italian prime minister Matteo Renzi objected.

Eventually, François Hollande, the French president who has battled to keep Greece in the fold, ushered Ms Merkel and Mr Tsipras into Mr Tusk’s office to finalise a compromise on the privatisation fund. Although they were ultimately successful, the negotiations appeared to strain the Franco-German relationship long at the heart of the European project.

“There was in Germany a rather strong pressure for a Grexit. I refused that solution,” Mr Hollande told reporters after a deal was reached.

On the privatisation fund, in particular, Mr Hollande gave backing to Mr Tsipras. It was a question of “sovereignty,” the French leader said. “Nothing would have been worse than humiliating Greece, Greece didn't seek charity, but solidarity from the eurozone.”

Mr Hollande also insisted that the possibility of a temporary Greek exit from the eurozone — a controversial initiative Mr Schäuble had managed to insert into the eurogroup proposals — be removed from the final document.

In the end, some bleary-eyed diplomats emerged unsure who had prevailed in the marathon session. But they seemed agreed as to who had suffered most.

“They crucified Tsipras in there,” a senior eurozone official who had attended the summit remarked. “Crucified.”

Pobjednik je grčki narod jer je spriječena anarhija, humanitarna kriza, a spašeni su i njihovi depoziti.

F.W. Engdahl u svom novom članku pise da je od 240 mlrd koliko je Grčka dobila kredita od 2010. godine, 207 ili 86% ponovno završilo kod stranih banaka, većinom francuskih i njemačkih.

Bijesni Grci su na ulicama Atene. Protive se dogovoru s EU. Masovni štrajk pretvorio se u nerede.

Prosvjednici su još jutros demonstrirali u središtu glavnoga grčkog grada zbog mjera štednje, ističući transparente na kojemu je pisalo "Otkažite pomoć!" i "Ne politici EU-a, ECB-a i MMF-a", no u njima je sudjelovalo samo nekoliko tisuća ljudi.

Istraživanje javnog mišljenja čiji su rezultati objavljeni danas pokazalo je da više od 70 posto stanovnika Grčke želi da parlament odobri pomoć.
Grčki parlament večeras bi trebao usvojiti prve mjere iz sporazuma između Grčke i njezinih vjerovnika, pri čemu premijera Aleksisa Ciprasa čeka velika borba s neizvjesnim ishodom.

Nakon što je u utorak javnosti poručio da je preuzeo odgovornost i potpisao "dokument u koji ne vjeruje", ali je jedino tako mogao izbjeći katastrofu za zemlju, Ciprasu preostaje da se pouzda u istraživanje javnog mnijenja koje je na uzorku od 700 ispitanika za dnevnik To Vima proveo institut Kapa Research, po kojemu, iako su podijeljeni oko uvjeta sporazuma, 70,1 posto Grka smatra da bi ga parlament trebao usvojiti.

Grčki parlament prihvatio je uvjete sporazuma. Za je glasalo 229 zastupnika, protiv je bilo njih 64, dok se od glasanja sudržalo šestero zastupnika.

Nakon što su tri tjedna banke u Grčkoj bile zatvorene, građani će ih moći posjetiti ponovo u ponedjeljak iako su mjere restrikcija još uvijek na snazi, piše Anadolu Agency (AA).

Grčka vlada je danas u dekretu podržala odluku da će Grci moći sa računa širom zemlje podizati do 60 eura dnevno. S tim u vezi, onaj građanin koji 60 eura ne podigne sa računa u ponedjeljak, u utorak će moći podići do 120 eura što će do kraja tjedna iznositi 420 eura.

Klijenti banaka također, prema odluci vlade, neće moći unovčiti svoje čekove te neće moći podići gotovinski novac u stranim zemljama već će moći samo izvršiti kupovinu.

Grčka je 29. lipnja zatvorila banke u zemlji nakon što Europska centralna banka (ECB) odbila povećati sredstva za hitne slučajeve.

Given the communist past of Mr Tsipras and other leading government figures, Athens believed it would be a simple matter to win $5bn to $10bn in financial backing from Vladimir Putin, the Russian president.

Mr Lafazanis visited Moscow three times as Mr Tsipras’s envoy after Syriza came to power in January. In return for signing up to a new gas pipeline project, he hoped for at least €5bn in prepayments of gas transit fees, according to people briefed on the initiative. But the Russians rejected the deal the week before the EU summit.

“It was all a fantasy,” said a senior Greek banker. “The Left Platform’s dreams of free gas and a Russian-backed drachma have crumbled away.”

U najsiromašniju članicu EU račune preselilo 11.000 grčkih tvrtki i 60.000 građana.Na tisuće grčkih tvrtki i građana otvara račune u bugarskim bankama da bi mogli izvršiti svoje financijske obveze bez ograničenja, prenosi Poslovni.hr.

Analitičar sofijskog Instituta za tržišnu ekonomiju Krasen Stančev kaže da je između 50.000 i 60.000 Grka otvorilo račune u bugarskim bankama, prenosi Reuters. Na području Bugarske posluju četiri banke u grčkom vlasništvu, od kojih su dvije - Alpha i EFG banka - započele proces spajanja.

Grčke banke u Bugarskoj drže petinu bankovnog tržišta. Suočeni sa ekonomskom krizom, Grci masovno sele i svoje kompanije u Bugarsku. Prema podacima ekonomskih instituta, do sada se više od 11.000 grčkih kompanija preselilo u Bugarskoj. Iako je najsiromašnija članica Eropske Unije, Bugarska je istovremeno jedna od ekonomski najstabilnijih.

Javni dug Bugarske iznosi 28,8 posto bruto domaćeg proizvoda, a nacionalna valuta lev vezana je za euro. Indeks potrošačkih cijena u lipnju ove godine u odnosu na mjesec ranije zabilježio je deflaciju od 0,9 posto.
