Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande said Athens would have to move quickly to secure a deal that would keep Greece in the eurozone.
Merkel, who held talks with Hollande at the Elysee Palace, said the conditions for a bailout package had not yet been met.
“That is why we are now waiting for very precise proposals from the Greek prime minister, a program that will allow Greece to return to prosperity,” said Merkel. The chancellor, who said Greece should put its proposals on the table this week, claimed eurozone countries had already shown “a lot of solidarity with Greece”.
Holland stressed the door was “open for discussion,” but urged there was not much time left.
“It’s now up to the government of Alexis Tsipras to offer serious, credible proposals so that this will can be turned into a program which gives a long-term perspective, because Greece needs a long-term perspective in the eurozone with stable rules, as the eurozone itself does.”
