希臘總理要求更多時間來實行改革和削減開支
Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras is expected to ask for more time to make key reforms and spending cuts to keep his recession-plagued country in the eurozone when he meets Friday with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin.
Mr. Samaras told the German newspaper Bild earlier this week that Greece is not seeking more money from its international creditors. He said Greece only wants a little more time to make spending cuts and reforms that would revive its economy and boost income.
However, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble told German radio this week that more time would mean more money.
Mr. Samaras will take his diplomatic bid to Paris on Saturday for a meeting with French President Francois Hollande.預計希臘總理薩馬拉斯星期五在柏林會晤德國總理默克爾時，將要求給予希臘更多時間來施行重要改革和削減開支，爭取讓陷於經濟衰退的希臘留在歐元區。
薩馬拉斯本星期早些時候對德國報紙說，希臘並不尋求從其國際債權人那裏得到更多貸款。他表示，希臘只希望得到更多一點時間來削減開支並實行改革，以振興經濟和增加收入。
但德國財政部長朔伊布勒本星期對德國廣播電臺說，更多時間就意味着更多金錢。
星期六，薩馬拉斯將前往巴黎，會晤法國總統奧朗德。
