Turning to domestic matter he adds:

  • Germany upholds 2016-19 budget plan despite Greece

Meanwhile back to Greece

  • Greece so far hasn't asked for ESM programme
  • Tsipras letter of 30 June doesn't count as aid request
  • ESM treaty rules to determine any help for Greece

Ah of course, if you need a get-out refer to the rule book

Jaeger - you can trust me. I'm an official spokesman. And I wear a tie
