Greek debt plans go down to the wire as troika watches on

Draft plans for new commitments by the Greek government to win an extension of their programme were still being exchanged between Athens and Brussels last night, coming up to the midnight deadline.

A three-page document continued to be modified at the request of experts from the troika.

But in a positive sign, the Greek finance ministry announced that a teleconference will take place between the finance minister Yanis Varoufakis and the eurogroup today.
