    "The Eurogroup has been informed that the Spanish authorities will present a formal request shortly and is willing to respond favorably to such a request," the group said in a statement.

    I heard they don't know how much yet but they said at least £32 billion. I heard $125 bn too. It will end up like $300 or $700.

    They will keep the Euro going till 2014 then they will not be able to.

    I didn't know the EU had any Euros left to give away.

    Is there an online form to file a request for Euros? I wouldn't mind getting some as well.

    They will be getting it from the EFSF most likely.
