Athens / Brussels (APA / dpa) – The finance ministers of the euro countries want to decide on the extension of the aid program for Greece on Tuesday. Provided however, that a requested from the government in Athens Reform List sufficiently raises hope for a successful completion of the rescue package.
The Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and his radical Syriza had refused to last, tough austerity conditions imposed by the donors to accept.
The reform list of Greece should be made by experts of the European Commission, the European Central Bank (ECB) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) under the microscope. The lineup was not until Monday in Athens in work.
In Athens and Brussels transpired that Greece may have to manipulate it in its reform plans.

Varoufakis spoke of a “very comprehensive list of reforms.”
