Eurogroup presented with new Greece paper, but no further progress


(MENAFN- Saudi Press Agency) The eurozone finance ministers have been provided with a new paper on Greece, produced after hours of top-level bailout negotiations, but there does not appear to have been significant
progress, dpa cited Austrian Finance Minister Hans Joerg Schelling as saying.

The ministers' Eurogroup panel will meet at 1:30 pm (1130 GMT) - half
an hour later than originally expected - so delegations have time to
review the document, Schelling says. But he already expresses
frustration with an apparent lack of compromise from the Greek side.

'There apparently was no further progress overnight ... Greece
rejected every sort of compromise and constantly came with new
wishes,' Schelling says. 'In my view, it is really astonishing how
carelessly the Greek government is dealing with its country.'
