BERLIN, Jan 30 (Reuters) - Germany tried on Monday to
tone down reports, sparking indignation in Greece, that it wants
a new euro zone "budget commissioner" with the power to veto
budget decisions taken by the Greek government.
A German finance ministry spokesman said on Monday the euro
zone was discussing several ways to closely guide the
implementation of budget savings programmes in countries that
have taken up rescue funds, but had not settled on one proposal.
"There are discussions in the euro zone about what we should
do when in certain cases, certain programmes go off track over a
long period, and time and again," spokesman Martin Kotthaus told
a regular news conference, adding there were still shortcomings
in the implementation of Greece's savings programme.
"In the eurogroup there is a discussion, and there are
different proposals and papers," he said.
