BERLIN (Reuters) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Monday that Greece needs to give more details on the reforms it promised euro zone peers in return for the extension of its aid programme.

"Now it's about specifying these reform proposals," Merkel said in a speech in Berlin, adding that the bailout extension approved last week by the German Bundestag should help the Greek reform programme to succeed.
