歐元區19國財長繼續開會

The European Union has canceled a full 28-nation summit on Greece's bailout hopes Sunday, and will instead limit the talks to leaders of the eurozone nations.

The 19 eurozone finance ministers are continuing to meet in Brussels, after eight hours of talks Saturday failed to produce a breakthrough.

The ministers' meeting will "last until we conclude talks on Greece," said European Council President Donald Tusk.

Eurozone officials are grappling with Greece's failure to meet a repayment deadline on a loan installment earlier this month. They are also seeking additional assurances that Athens will honor terms of any new deal.

Sources say the finance ministers used their Saturday meeting to formulate demands for additional Greek budget and political reforms before they open negotiations on any new loans.歐盟取消了有關希臘救助問題的28國峯會，星期天出席會議的將只有歐元區各國領導人。

歐元區19國財政部長星期日繼續在布魯塞爾開會，之前星期六八個小時的會談未能取得突破。

歐洲理事會主席圖斯克說，19國財政部長將繼續開會，直到有關希臘問題的會談結束爲止。

歐元區官員討論了希臘七月早些時候未能按期還債的問題。他們還尋求希臘就遵守可能達成的任何新協議做出新的保證。歐元區高級官員星期六說，他們討論了信譽和信任的問題。

有消息說，歐元區各國財政部長利用星期六的會議討論如何要求希臘進一步緊縮開支、實施政治改革的措施，然後纔會就新一輪貸款進行談判。
