«On 8 July 2015 Greece addressed to the Eurogroup President and the Board of Governors of the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) a request for stability support in the form of a loan with an availability period of three years, in accordance with the conditions provided in Article 13 of the ESM Treaty and in Article 2 in the Guideline of Loans.

Following intensive discussions between euro area Finance Ministers and Heads of State or Government over the week-end 11/12 July 2015, the following agreement has been reached:

Greece has requested a new financial assistance from the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) and there is an agreement in principle to provide the requested assistance, as outlined in the Euro Summit Statement from 12 July.

However, Greece needs bridge financing until the new programme can be put into place, in order to preserve the integrity of the euro area, financial stability and to avoid further default on its repayment obligations. In view of this, Greece officially requested some urgent financial assistance from the European Union, i.e. from the European Financial Stabilisation Mechanism (EFSM).

As outlined in the Commission’s proposal for a Council implementing decision on granting short term Union financial assistance to Greece (a loan amounting to a maximum of EUR 7 billion – with a maximum maturity of 3 months – would be disbursed in one instalment and be linked to economic policy conditionality. The assistance to be granted to Greece by the ESM later on will be used to repay the short-term loan received by Greece under the EFSM».
