"We are negotiating with Greece at the moment.
If there is a reform list, then the next step is a so-called
Staff Level Agreement to make formal changes to the conditions
of the aid program. This is a complex process and no one in the
Eurogroup expects this to be concluded by April 24," a finance
ministry spokeswoman said.
"Once you have this Staff Level Agreement, then you have to have
implementation. Greece would have to agree laws and at some
point the institutions would conduct an implementation review
and only on this basis could aid be paid out. If people are
under the impression that aid could be paid out in April, I
think this is wrong."
