European Commission Vice President Valdis Dombrovskis said on Friday that he hoped that a new Greek bailout programme could be reached within a few weeks. He added that talks will include debt restructuring.

"On debt I would expect this being a part of negotiations, because this is also something the IMF insists on. There is also a clear conclusion of the Euro Summit that the IMF should be a part of the third programme. It means certainly also that debt sustainability issue is going to be a part of negotiations," Dombrovskis said.
