14:08
European Council President Donald Tusk said on Monday morning that the eurozone leaders agreed on negotiations for the bailout for Greece. The Athens may be needing up to €86 billion, according to the document adopted at Sunday night, the media reported.
"There are strict conditions to be met. The approval of several national parliaments, including the Greek parliament, is now needed for negotiations on an ESM [European Stability Mechanism] programme to formally begin," Tusk said in a statement.
The negotiations on the bailout package are to be launched by the end of the week, Tusk said at the press conference.
"These were very exhausting talks, because not only money but the future of Europe an the future of the eurozone were at stake in fact," he stressed.
As a consequence of the agreement, Greece will have to pass reforms demanded by the eurozone by Wednesday.
