Varoufakis meets with French Economy Minister Macron in Paris

Earlier in the day Varoufakis met with French Finance Minister Michel Sapin, then went to Brussels where he met with European Finance Commissioner Pierre Moscovici.

"Our talk was on technical level," Varoufakis said of his late Tuesday meeting with Macron in Paris. "It was especially complicated but constructive, within the framework of technical solutions we are jointly looking for," he told ANA-MPA.

Macron, he said, "helped a lot in formulating some ideas in the framework of efforts to be expanded over the next few days towards a solution."

Asked whether they discussed the reforms proposals, the finance minister said they discussed "fiscal, budgetary reforms, banks, non-performing loans, and overdue debts." The aim, he added, was to find a solution "that is not simply a solution but (something) that offers an in-depth solution to the crisis of the last few years."

The minister is expected to go to Rome next.
