BRUSSELS (Reuters) – Greece needs to request an extension of its international bailout this week, said Monday Jeroen Dijsselbloem, who chaired a meeting of finance ministers of the euro area .
“The general feeling in the Eurogroup is still the best way forward is that the Greek authorities request an extension of the program,” Dijsselbloem told a news conference.
“That would allow us to work on future arrangements … and allow the Greeks use the normal flexibility of a program change measures put other measures in place,” he said.
He added that the Eurogroup could accept a request for extension of part of Greece this week but not later.
