Greece submits reform proposals to eurozone creditors – with a warning

As the EU, ECB and IMF pore over Athens's latest attempt to unlock financial aid, minister says country is prepared to go it alone 'if things do not go well'

Greece submitted a long-awaited list of structural reforms to its creditors on Friday as its leftist-led government warned it would stop meeting debt obligations if negotiations failed and aid was not forthcoming.

As officials from the EU, the European Central Bank (ECB) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) prepared to pore over Athens's latest proposals, the country's international economic affairs minister, Euclid Tsakalotos, raised the stakes, saying while Greece wanted an agreement it was prepared to go its own way "in the event of a bad scenario".
