Earlier there was anger among some eurozone members at the lack of new written proposals from Greece.

Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite said: "There was a promise for today. Then, they're promising for tomorrow. For the Greek government it's every time 'manana'."

Ah, yes, Greece, the mañana republic.

OK everyone, on the count of three and for the benefit of the EU: the word is avrio.

Hard to believe that a Prime Minister and Finance Minister attend a meeting without taking with them any written proposals for consideration of the attendees.

Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has promised his government will submit "credible reform" proposals to its creditors on Thursday.

The left-wing leader was greeted by both boos and cheers as he entered the European Parliament, where he criticised previous bailouts for turning Greece into an "austerity laboratory".

German MEP Manfred Weber accused Mr Tsipras of insulting other European leaders.

"The extremists of Europe are applauding you," he said, referring to support from both left and right in parliament.

However, some MEPs displayed placards saying "No", praising the result of the Greek referendum.

Got a feeling that what Tsipras sees as credible may not be the same as Merkel et al see as credible... anything other than a complete Greek surrender and a puppet government won't be 'credible'.
