Greece unlikely to end bailout without new help

BRUSSELS, Nov 3 (Reuters): Greece is "highly unlikely" to end its euro zone bailout programme without some new form of assistance that will require it to meet targets, a senior EU official said on Monday.

"A completely clean exit is highly unlikely," the official told reporters, on condition of anonymity. "We will have to explore what other options there are. Whatever options we may be adopting, it will be a contractual relationship between the euro area institutions and the Greek authorities," the official said.
