The negotiations between the Greek government and creditors to try to close a deal on Greece resumed hours before the start of a new special meeting of ministers of Business and Finance of the euro area and an European Council .
Participants in the meeting, which began at 7:00 GMT at the headquarters of the Europe (CE) Committee, agreed to the building by car and would not comment.
The event brings together the Presidents of the EC, Jean-Claude Juncker , the European Central Bank (ECB), Mario Draghi , and the Eurogroup, Jeroen Dijsselbloem , the managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Christine Lagarde , and the manager of the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) director Klaus Regling .
The same group held two meetings yesterday with the aim of moving towards an agreement on the measures to be applied by the country within the conditions of its bailout.
Similarly, in the early hours of Thursday (4:00 GMT) resumed negotiations at the technical level.
The meetings are multiplied facing the Eurogroup which will begin at 11:00 GMT and the Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Europe (EU), which starts at 14:00 GMT Union.
The eurozone leaders hope that the negotiations zanjen during the Eurogroup meeting, to keep the issue open to reach the European summit.
To that end, yesterday had already held two meetings between the institutions previously known as the troika and the Greek government, and the Eurogroup, which lasted just two hours.
Greek government sources said last night that the government led by Tsipras maintained in their positions.

They also indicated that the new proposal submitted by the institutions yesterday morning “creates several problems” in Athens, in areas such as tax, pensions and labor laws.
