Germany prepares legislation for Greek aid package
None
Government officials say Germany is starting to lay the legal ground for its contribution to the financial aid package for debt-laden Greece.
A spokeswoman for the Finance Ministry said on Monday minister Wolfgang Schaeuble and leading lawmakers from all parties were to meet in the morning to discuss how to proceed with the necessary legislation. The government is seeking a speedy parliamentary approval for the controversial loan guarantees for Greece, adding up to some $10.7 billion for Germany. (AP)
