There's a few interesting rumours skitting around tonight following the eurogroup conference call. Dow Jones is reporting tonight that some eurozone officials want a "Troika presense" agreed in Athens before the bailout can proceed, along with a commitment that Greece's rescue funds will be paid into an escrow account.There's also a report that the German, Finnish and Netherland's finance ministers suggested that the eurogroup should also seek pledges from Greece's smaller political parties - having secured Antonis Samaras and George Papandreou's support. That has not gone down well in Greece - journalist Efthimia Efthimiou argued that it showed that the eurozone was no longer prepared to help Greece.
