EU ready to restate debt rescheduling pledge to clinch Greek deal

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Greece's creditors see limited scope to accommodate Athens in talks on financing for reforms to clinch a deal on Saturday and are willing to reaffirm a 2012 promise to consider rescheduling its debt, a senior official close to the talks said.

The EU official, who asked not to be named because of the sensitivity of the talks, said despite the hardline position of most euro zone finance ministers, EU leaders expressed the political will at a summit in Brussels to take half a step towards Greece.
