the euro zone intact, French Prime Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said after talks with Chancellor Angela Merkel and other German officials. "We support Greece. I reiterated this to the


chancellor and I sensed a sincere desire on her part to work towards a solution in which everyone respects their responsibilities," Cazeneuve said. "What is important is that


France and Germany work together in order to preserve the integrity of the euro zone." His remarks to a group of reporters at the French embassy in Berlin come after German Finance


Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble raised the prospect of a Greek exit from the euro zone in an interview with German broadcaster ARD last week. Cazeneuve, who met with Merkel on Monday and senior


members of the Social Democrats (SPD) on Tuesday, said that while Greece must press ahead with reforms, it should not be forced to implement "unbearable" measures. (This article
