Greece turned up to Tuesday's emergency meeting with its creditors without any new plans as to how to bail itself out — despite promising to do so.

Jeroen Dijsselbloem, head of Greece's creditors, gave a statement after an emergency meetings of Europe's top leaders on Tuesday confirming that Greece turned up empty handed.

The plan is now for Greece to table new proposals tomorrow — on a conference call rather than face-to-face.

Eleni Varvitsiotis, European Union correspondent for the Greek newspaper Kathimerini, tweeted early Tuesday that would be the case.

It's pretty incredible for Greece to waste the meeting, given the urgency with which the country needs a deal now. And it won't win them any favours with Europe's finance ministers, who scrambled together for an emergency meeting with just 24 hours notice.

Both Germany and France said Monday that there could be no negotiations until Greece had made counter proposals on a bailout deal. Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras later called German Chancellor Angela Merkel and promised to bring a fresh offer to the talks, according to Reuters.

And Dijsselbloem said after the talks: "We were under the impression proposals would come today.

In a referendum on Sunday, the Greek people resoundingly rejected the most recent bailout deal offered by Greece's creditors.

Greece had less than 48 hours to draw up plans of its own and also had to appoint a new finance minister after the surprise exit of Yanis Varoufakis.

While Euclid Tsakalotos, the new finance minister, hasn't had time to type up all his ideas, the latest signals coming out of Brussels suggest he has made an oral presentation to the Eurogroup, with the full presentation to follow on Wednesday.

That clearly wasn't good enough — arriving for yet another emergency meeting later tonight in Brussels, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said there's "still no basis for negotiations in the ESM program framework," she said of Greek plans to request a loan from the European Stability Mechanism.

"Without solidarity and reforms it's not possible to go where we want to go," she added. "It's not a matter of weeks but of a few days. We will see what the Greek prime minister will tell us."

A Greek official told Reuters: "Some are maintaining we don’t have proposals. Is that the same as not having 47 pages, which we had the Monday before last, and today? Is it really that we don’t have proposals or is it that they don’t like our proposals?”

Meanwhile Greek President Prokopis Pavlopoulos has written to EU Council head Donald Tusk to set out what he wants from a solution, according to The Telegraph.

But the letter reads more like a list of demands than a plan. Pavlopoulos wants debt restructuring, more money for Greece, and a programme of reforms based around growth rather than austerity.

All of this looks as if it has angered the Eurogroup. President Jeroen Dijsselbloem is expected to give a short statement in a few minutes, which could signal the end of Tuesday's emergency meeting.
