欧元区19国财长继续开会

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.

欧元区19国财政部长星期日继续在布鲁塞尔开会，之前星期六八个小时的会谈未能取得突破。

欧洲理事会主席图斯克说，19国财政部长将继续开会，直到有关希腊问题的会谈结束为止。

欧元区官员讨论了希腊七月早些时候未能按期还债的问题。他们还寻求希腊就遵守可能达成的任何新协议做出新的保证。欧元区高级官员星期六说，他们讨论了信誉和信任的问题。

有消息说，欧元区各国财政部长利用星期六的会议讨论如何要求希腊进一步紧缩开支、实施政治改革的措施，然后才会就新一轮贷款进行谈判。
