The European Commissioner for Economic and Monetary affairs, Olli Rehn, said today that as the European Commission is responsible for the EU to negotiate the joint EU-IMF programme with Greece, he has been in a daily contact with and just spoke again with the mission in Athens, whose team has been working day and night to complete their job. The talks will be concluded in coming days. The European Union described as “speculation” a German newspaper report that the EU aid package for Greece could total as much as €90bn over 3 years.
