Schaeuble: Greece needs to fulfil the terms of the agreement before further aid
German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble is sticking to his hard line on Greece, telling a German newspaper the onus was on the government in Athens to fulfil the conditions of its bailout programme before further aid would be paid out, Reuters news agency reported.
"Before money can flow, Athens has to show that it is meeting the agreed conditions," Schaeuble said in an interview in the Stuttgarter Zeitung on Wednesday (04/03/2015).
"How long Greece needs to fulfil the terms depends on Athens."
Schaeuble also warned Greece's Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis against trying to change the terms of the agreement.
"If the Greek Finance minister declares the euro group's agreement with Greece is unclear, then he is stating that against his better judgement," Schaeuble said.
