Greece to make aid request soon, says Dutch minister
Brussels
GREECE will put its economic proposals in writing, in a first step towards restarting aid talks after the country's voters rejected austerity, Dutch Finance Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem said on Tuesday.
Mr Dijsselbloem said his new Greek counterpart Euclid Tsakalotos had presented "no concrete measures today" despite demands for a reform plan, but added that a request to the EU's bailout fund was "imminent, possibly within the next few hours".
