Greece reform list 'received' in Brussels

A European source says Greece has submitted a list of economic reforms demanded by its creditors.

Greece has submitted the list of economic reforms demanded by its creditors to extend the country's bailout program by four months, a European source says.

"The list has been received," the source said on Monday, without giving details.

However, the European Commission said no final list has yet been put forward as talks are continuing.

"We have not received any list from the Greek authorities. As you know the deadline is by the end of Monday," spokeswoman Mina Andreeva said.

"Of course there are talks happening. We are in contact with the Greek authorities.

"I think it is normal that documents are circulating but any official transmission of the list... should happen by the end of the day and we are expecting it by the end of the day," Andreeva said.

Officials are due to review the list of Greek reforms on Monday and then onpass their findings to all 19 eurozone finance ministers for a decision on Tuesday.

If judged acceptable, Greece and its creditors - the European Union, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund - will then thrash out the exact terms for the four-month loan extension.

After last-chance talks on Friday, eurozone finance ministers gave the new anti-austerity Greek government until Monday to come up with reforms to the program which expires on Saturday.
