Remarks By President Donald Tusk Following The First Session Of The European Council Meeting

Date 26/06/2015

As you know there is not yet an agreement between Greece and the Institutions and hence no agreement in the Eurogroup. That is why I asked the President of the Eurogroup to brief leaders on the state of negotiations with Greece. Leaders had a long discussion and are fully aware of the situation and potential consequences. We agree on our support for the Institutions and the current process of negotiations. Leaders have agreed there is no need for another Euro Summit, not tomorrow or over the weekend. Leaders expect the Eurogroup to conclude this process at their meeting on Saturday.
