French junior minister says no Greek debt forgiveness

PARIS (Reuters) - French junior budget minister Christian Eckert said on Tuesday that France was clear on its view that Greece's debt would not be cancelled.

"France's position is clear on debt forgiveness: there won't be any," Eckert told parliament.

France's loans to Greece represent "around 41 billion euros ($46.58 billion)", Eckert said.
