In a tweet he said a third request, for credit from the European Stability Mechanism, could be dealt with separately from the emergency procedures currently being used.


“Eurogroup ends. Letter of Tsipras includes three requests. Extension of programme or haircut not possible,” Stubb tweeted. “Request for ESM-programme is always dealt with through normal procedures.”
