Statement by Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker following the extraordinary Euro Summit on Greece

"I simply wanted to say that the proposals that the Greek government was submitting to our meditation tonight and early this morning - although these proposals were coming in with some delay - are a major step taken by the Greek authorities into the direction of the expectations of the three institutions involved in that process.

I am confident that the Eurogroup on Wednesday will produce results to be submitted to the European Council on Thursday. I am convinced that this is not only our intention to finalise the decision-making process this week - we will finalise the process this week."
