Bigger bailout

GREECE'S international debt inspectors have discovered that the debt-ridden country still needs an extra 15 billion euros (US$20 billion) in help - on top of a promised 130-billion-euro bailout and a 100-billion-euro debt relief from private investors, a European official said yesterday.

The European Commission, the executive arm of the European Union, has asked the rest of the 17-country eurozone to help foot the bill for the missing 15 billion euros, the official said, indicating that a limit has been reached of what can be achieved by Athens implementing further spending cuts and private investors taking losses on their Greek bonds.
