Statement By The Eurogroup On Spain

Ministers welcome the request of the Spanish Government for financial assistance from euro-area Member States. Ministers  welcome the assessment provided by the Commission, in liaison with the ECB, EBA and the IMF, that the eligibility conditions for access to an EFSF/ESM financial assistance for the re-capitalisation of financial institutions are satisfied. In line with this, Ministers consider that providing assistance to Spain is warranted to safeguard financial stability in the euro area.
