Greek MPs to vote on bailout plan
Friday, 10 July 2015
The Eurogroup has described new Greek proposals on securing a vital third bailout as "thorough".
President Jeroen Dijsselbloem said a "major decision" could now be made at a eurozone finance meeting on Saturday, a BBC report said.
The proposals are aimed at staving off financial collapse and preventing a possible Greek exit from the eurozone.
Greek PM Alexis Tsipras will put the plan, which contains many elements rejected in a referendum last Sunday, to a vote in parliament on Friday.
The prime minister submitted the proposals to Greece's creditors - the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund - by the Thursday deadline they had set.
European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, European Central Bank President Mario Draghi, International Monetary Fund head Christine Lagarde and Mr Dijsselbloem were scheduled to hold a conference call on the new proposals at 11:00 GMT.
Mr Dijsselbloem said the new Greek paper was "a thorough piece of text" and that support from the Greek parliament would give it "more credibility".
"But even then we need to consider carefully whether the proposal is good and if the numbers add up. We have to make a major decision. Whichever way."
