They usually go together. This committee scrutinises ECOFIN meetings, but the two go together, and the Eurogroup meeting always precedes the ECOFIN meeting. The Eurogroup meets on Thursday afternoon. Greece will probably be the main item on the agenda. The meeting may run late, depending on whether there is agreement. The following morning, there is usually a series of meetings at which people meet within their party groups. We, being in the European People's Party, meet at approximately 7.30 a.m., Brussels time. The ECOFIN meeting is at 9 a.m.
