DJ Finnush PM: Wouldn`t Think About Heading Eurogroup If Full-Time Job



Finnish Prime Minister Jyrki Katainen said Saturday he wasn't in a position to comment on who would succeed Jean-Claude Juncker as head of the so-called Eurogroup of euro-zone finance ministers, and that he wouldn't even think about the job if it was full-time post.

European Council President Herman Van Rompuy is currently trying to find a replacement for Luxembourg Prime Minister Juncker as head of the Eurogroup, with a decision aimed for in late June.
"I know my name has been mentioned, but I'm not in a position to say anything more," Katainen said at an informal weekend meeting on current economic issues at Saariselka in northern Finland.
"I'm waiting for the result," Katainen said at the ski resort, some 1,100 kilometers north of Helsinki and within the Arctic Circle.
Asked whether it would be realistic for him to actually take on the part-time job, Katainen said: "I wouldn't even think [about] this position if it was a full-time job, because I want to continue as prime minister of Finland."
Finland is one of three euro-zone countries left with top ratings from all the major rating agencies along with Germany and the Netherlands.
