the total financial aid package for Greece
could be more than double, the 60 billion dollars
that is previously expected.

to agree to the financial rescue plan.
He said the deal needed to be implemented quickly
as the situation was getting worse every day
and could affect other European countries.

Berlin needed to be searching
