Euro zone finance ministers should agree on Monday on a short-term plan to ease Greece's debt payments schedule at a meeting in Brussels, French finance minister Michel Sapin said.

“This afternoon we will talk about short-term measures to ease the debt weight,” Mr Sapin said on arrival at the meeting of euro zone finance ministers in Brussels.

"These are important measures, measures which will have a positive effect on Greece. I think we will have an agreement on these measures," he added.
