The fact that the Eurogroup of eurozone finance ministers is discussing Greece's bailout extension request today is an indication that the country's creditors are all on board, according to a European Commission spokesman, dpa reported. The commission views Athens' reform proposals as "sufficiently comprehensive," Margaritis Schinas says. "It is for the other institutions to express themselves, but I think that the fact that we now have a Eurogroup at 2 pm [teleconference] gives also the answer to your question," he adds, when asked whether that assessment is shared by Greece's other creditors. "The next steps are at the Eurogroup," Schinas says.
