BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Euro zone leaders will on Friday give fresh impetus to reforms aimed at making the bloc more resilient to crises, with plans having stalled over the last three months in the absence of a permanent government in Germany.

Leaders of the 19 countries sharing the single currency are not likely to take key decisions at what the chairman of their finance ministers, Mario Centeno, called a "pit stop" summit.
