Eurozone finance ministers gather to hear about Greece from troika
EU finance ministers are in Luxembourg to take stock of the debt crisis before a summit of EU leaders later this month.
The
17 eurozone ministers will look Monday at Greeces budget proposals.
They will hear from the troika — the European Commission, the European
Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund — about its
negotiations with the Greek government.No final troika report will be
submitted, so no decision on a new payout of aid will be made.
Finance
ministers from all 27 EU countries meet Tuesday and are expected to
grant Portugal an extra year, until 2014, to correct its excessive
budget deficit.
They will also see how many countries want to
institute a financial transaction tax among just themselves, rather than
all EU countries.
