Speaking to reporters, Amadeo Altafaj, a spokesman for Rehn, emphasised that "the Commissioner is not intending to visit Greece at this stage or to ask for additional measures." Altafaj said Greece was satisfactory implementing a fiscal consolidation programme and stressed that the Commission has no intention to ask for alterations to this programme.
