Germany, which will provide the largest chunk of the rescue package, has already approved its contribution last month.

In the meantime, the 60 billion euros supplied by the European Commission would be available for countries in urgent need, Juncker said.

Olli Rehn, European Union (EU) Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs, said the support to countries facing severe difficulties should be provided with strict conditions, which would be the same as applied to Greece.

Eurozone countries agreed on a separate 110-billion-euro (132 billion U.S. dollars) rescue deal for Greece in early May. In return, Athens was ordered to take aggressive austerity measures to cut its budgetary deficits and public debts.

"The essence of the thing is that this is based on the same kind of conditionality as the rescue package for Greece, if this is needed. In other words, this is strictly conditional," Rehn said.
