Greece must make more cuts, size not yet clear: EU


    BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Greece must take additional measures to reach its deficit-cut target of 4 percent of GDP in 2010 but it is not yet clear how far short Athens is with steps announced so far, the European Commission said on Tuesday.

    Amadeu Altafaj, spokesman for the European Union executive, told a regular news briefing that the Greek government was united and determined to do what was necessary to reach the 4 percent target, which would bring the Greek budget deficit to 8.7 percent of gross domestic product this year.
