Berlin: A eurozone/IMF aid package for Greece will be worth 100 to 120 billion euros over three years, according to IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn, a member of German parliament for the opposition Greens said.
Juergen Trittin, a parliamentary leader for the Greens, told reporters on Wednesday that German lawmakers were told Greece should be taken off the market de facto for three years.
Also, the International Monetary Fund and the European Central Bank rejected a demand from some German lawmakers that banks be included in a rescue package for Greece, said a member of Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats (CDU).
Norbert Barthle, the budget policy spokesman in parliament for the CDU, said after a meeting with ECB President Jean-Claude Trichet and IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn that the IMF and ECB had opposed including the banks in the rescue.
