No plans for immediate Eurogroup meeting after Greek vote, says EU official

There are no plans for an emergency meeting of eurozone finance ministers on Greece on Monday after Greeks voted overwhelmingly to reject the terms of a bailout deal with international creditors, a eurozone official said on Sunday.

Asked whether a meeting of the Eurogroup was planned for Monday, the official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters: "No way. (The ministers) would not know what to discuss."

The European Commission had no immediate comment on the early results, which showed a 60-40 'No' vote against the conditions of a cash-for-reforms deal to keep the country afloat, which the leftist Greek government rejected this month.
