BERLIN (Reuters) - German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble questioned whether Greece will ever get a third bailout programme on Thursday, a day after the Greek parliament passed a package of stringent measures required to open negotiations on financial aid.

His sceptical comments came as senior conservatives tried to drum up support for an aid-for-reforms deal with Greece ahead of a vote in parliament on Friday to give Berlin the green light to start negotiations on a third multi-billion euro bailout programme.
