Asked for a reaction to Portugal reaching a bail-out agreement with the European Union, the PMS said that it was her understanding that details were yet to be agreed. The PMS added that the Prime Minister had been clear that stability in the Eurozone was in our interests and we wanted to see a strong and successful Eurozone.
On whether the Prime Minister had sympathy with the True Finns, who had made clear that they would block the deal going through, the PMS said that it was her understanding that the Finnish Government had not made a decision on whether to block the deal or not and she would not speculate on that issue.
Asked if the Prime Minister was expecting Britain to make a major contribution to the bail-out, the PMS replied that people would know the details of the mechanisms the UK had been signed up to, but on this particular deal, details had not yet been agreed.
