Media: Secret plan exists on excluding Greece from Eurozone

The Eurozone countries could exclude Greece from the Eurozone, and have even prepared a secret plan for this, Russian news agency RIA Novosti has reported, with reference to UK newspaper The Times.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UAA1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The publication says it has managed to obtain a draft document prepared by the Minister of Finance of Finland which contains a thorough list of measures on the withdrawal of Greece from the Euro.

"Extremely difficult political decisions," the documents reads, are to be taken on the background of monitoring the impending bankruptcy of Greece.

In the case that the country does not receive its next tranche of economic support, it could suffer complete economic collapse, the alleged document says.

On April 9, Greece paid back a EUR 450 million loan tranche to the IMF.

By May 12, Athens will have to hand back another EUR 763 million. To do this, the Greeks must agree with European creditors a list of economic reforms needed to unlock another EUR 7.2 billion ($7.8 billion) in loans.

The total amount of debt owed by Greece to creditors is EUR 320 billion.
