ATHENS, Greece, Aug. 13 (UPI) -- The Greek legislature will vote late Thursday on a bill to approve the European Union's $93 billion bailout package.
The funding, 85 billion Euros, is required if Greece is to repay a 32.3 billion Euro ($3.5 billion) debt to the European Central Bank, due Aug. 20, and Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said he expects quick approval of the EU loan, the third bailout in five years. Assuming passage of the bill, finance ministers of the 19 Eurozone countries, as well as their parliaments, are expected to approve the loan as well.
