The European Union (EU) is on the verge of agreeing the details of an emergency plan to rescue Greece's economy, a senior official has said.

EU Commissioner for Economic and Monetary Affairs Olli Rehn said leaders were "about to conclude talks" on the package.

His comments came as European markets rose after two days of sharp falls on concerns about Greece's debt crisis.
