The state of play in Eurogroup talks with Greece dominated the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee’s regular debate with Eurogroup President Jeroen Dijsselbloem on Tuesday morning.

After sharing with MEPs news of growth forecasts and declining deficits in the euro area and good progress in Ireland, Portugal and Cyprus, he confirmed that the Greek reform plan had been received on Monday evening and that Eurogroup ministers would discuss it in a conference call on Tuesday.
