"It is important that the EU heads of government present at their summit in the coming week specific policy outcomes on a European framework for action", to help Greece in an emergency is by Rehn, EU spokesman Amadeu Altafaj on Friday cited in Brussels.
Greek Prime Minister Giorgos Papandreou had called on Thursday in Brussels to support the EU leaders for a stand-by credit assistance, not to run the cost of credit to Greece from the helm. This instrument Greece could protect against rising interest payments for its debt. Then Greece could implement his reorganization plan, rather than spend the necessary funds for interest expenses. He expects the EU summit a decision that had declared Papandreou. The topic will be at the EU summit on 25 and 26 March discussed.
