"The executive committee reconfirmed UEFA's commitment to organise Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine," Platini said in Bordeaux.

"At the same time the committee stressed a number of conditions must be met in order to bring forward the whole project."

When asked if Ukraine and Poland could still lose the right to stage the tournament if they failed to meet those conditions, Platini said: "Yes, the completion of the Kiev and Warsaw stadiums remains an essential element of the whole project

"Without Kiev or without Warsaw (stadiums) we cannot have a tournament. We will have stadiums, we will have wonderful stadiums but we were promised hotels and airports, but we won't have airports. We were promised roads. The Kiev and Warsaw governments must deliver," Platini said.

UEFA also said it may reduce the number of stadiums to be used with a minimum of six and maximum of eight in the light of the slow progress.

Poland and Ukraine were given the reprieve after the executive committee of European soccer's governing body met in Bordeaux to discuss a progress report on preparations for the tournament.

"I'm happy with the decision, it means we can continue with our preparations," said Grigoriy Surkis, president of the Ukrainian FA.

"We have been told to step up our efforts in regards our infrastructure but we have shown enough progress to satisfy UEFA for the time being."
