BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The chairman of European Union leaders Donald Tusk said he hoped EU governments can still make visible progress in reforming the single currency area by December despite a eurosceptic government in Italy that wants to break EU budget rules.

"I hope that positive progress is still possible and that is why I decided to organise the euro summit," Tusk told a news conference on Tuesday, referring to a meeting on Thursday in Brussels devoted to euro zone reform.
