Greece adopts reforms ahead of Eurogroup talks

Athens

GREEK lawmakers adopted a controversial package of pension cuts and tax hikes as eurozone finance ministers met for an emergency meeting on Monday to hammer out fresh reforms for Athens to stave off another eurozone crisis.

The ministers are expected to complete a long-stalled first review of Greece's massive EU-IMF bailout and discuss new debt relief measures at the crunch meeting in Brussels, which follows mass public opposition to the newly adopted measures in the cash-strapped country.
