希腊议会起草救助计划法案,星期四表决

Greek lawmakers are finishing a draft bill for the country's third government bailout package in five years, aiming for a vote before a meeting of eurozone ministers on Friday.

On Tuesday, Greece and its international creditors agreed “in principle” on broad terms of a new bailout.

European Commission spokeswoman Annika Breidthardt, a key mediator of the talks, confirmed progress on a $94 billion package.

Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has asked parliament to convene an emergency session to vote on the new bailout deal late Thursday.

Greece needs the money by August 20, when it must repay about $3.5 billion in debt to the European Central Bank.
