Government officials and representatives of Greece's international creditors are continuing negotiations on the terms of the country's third bailout this week, from afar, with the aim of covering as much ground as possible ahead of an extraordinary meeting of eurozone finance ministers to take place in Brussels on May 9.

The government is preparing to take actions on six fronts in order to accelerate implementation of its "parallel programme", alongside the draft bill legislating for the prior actions demanded under the new agreement, government sources said on Friday.

The debate on the government policy statements in Parliament plenum will be completed on Wednesday midnight.
