The leaders of Greece, France and Germany have said that Greece is an "integral" part of the eurozone.

希腊、法国和德国领导人纷纷表示，希腊是欧盟“不可分割”的一部分。

It follows a telephone call between Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor1 Angela Merkel.

Greece also reiterated2 that it is determined3 to meet all the deficit4 reductions plans it agreed to in exchange for its two bailouts.

Concerns continue that Greece will default on its debt.

The comments are aimed at calming markets that have seen turbulent（混乱的） trading in recent weeks over fears surrounding Greece's finances.

This has also increased speculation5 that Greece may have to leave the 17-nation single currency zone.

Greek government spokesman Elias Mossialos said: "In the face of the extensive rumours6 of the last few days, it was stressed by all that Greece is an integral part of the eurozone."

Ms Merkel and Mr Sarkozy said in a joint7 statement: "Putting into place commitments of the (bailout) programme is essential for the Greek economy to return to a path of lasting8 and balanced growth."

The European Union and the International Monetary9 Fund agreed in May of last year to give Greece 110bn euros ($151bn; £96bn) in emergency loans, which it is still receiving in tranches（部分） .

It was then agreed in July of this year that Greece would gain a second bailout fund of 109bn euros, but this still has to be ratified10 by the parliaments of a number of eurozone member states.

Greece is set to receive the next loan from its initial bailout later this month, but it will only get this if inspectors11 from the European Union, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund agree that it is keeping up with its spending cut targets.

There are some fears that they may rule that Greece has fallen behind. Without this month's loan, Greece will not be able to meet its debt payments by the middle of next month.

A spokesman for Ms Merkel said: "[Greece sticking to its targets] is the precondition for the payment of future tranches of the program."
