[01] IMF withdraws from talks, says 'ball is very much in Greece's court'
BRUSSELS (ANA-MPA/ M. Aroni) The meeting between European Commission
President Jean-Claude Juncker and Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras
on Thursday was a "last attempt" by Juncker for an agreement on Greece,
a European diplomat commented.
"If the process was working properly the president would not have had
to have a meeting with Tsipras today. President Juncker made a last
attempt to make a deal possible," the diplomat said. Earlier, the IMF
announced that its team at the negotiations with Greece had left Brussels,
citing major differences in most areas and "no progress in narrowing
these differences recently". According to IMF spokesman Gerry Rice,
"the ball is very much in Greece's court."
