BERLIN (Reuters) - German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble is willing to discuss further help for Greece if it reforms successfully but it still needs support at the end of a current international bailout programme, he said during a trip to Athens on Thursday.

"If Greece (towards the end of 2014) has implemented its reforms and has reached a primary surplus then we will negotiate further measures if necessary," Schaeuble said, having earlier told Athens to stop lobbying for more debt forgiveness.
