[01] There are still doubts on the credibility of the Greek government's
commitments, Schaeuble says
ANA/MPA---German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said on Wednesday
it had not been an easy decision for euro zone finance ministers to
extend Greece's loan agreement by four months and much doubt remained
about how credible Athens' latest reform commitments really were,
Reuters news agency reported.
"It wasn't an easy decision for us but neither was it easy for the
Greek government because (they) had told the people something completely
different in the campaign and afterwards," the German finance minister
told SWR2 radio according to Reuters.
"The question now is whether one can believe the Greek government's
assurances or not. There's a lot of doubt in Germany, that has to be
understood," said Schaeuble. Despite his misgivings, he has urged German
lawmakers to approve the Greek extension in a vote in parliament expected
on Friday.
