AIX-EN-PROVENCE, France (Reuters) - The European Central Bank stands ready to take additional measures if the situation warrants it, ECB Executive Board member Benoit Coeure said on Sunday.

"In the current circumstances of great uncertainty in Europe and the world, the ECB has been clear that if we need to do more we will do more. We will find the necessary instruments," Coeure said at an economics conference in Aix-en-Provence southern France.
