European governments will find a way oftiding Greece past next week's bill redemption as the pieces of anupdated aid package take longer than planned to fall into place, aEuropean official said.

While finance ministers on Nov. 12 areunlikely to sign off on 31.5 billion euros ($40 billion) of freshloans, the result won't be an “accidental default” for Greece when5 billion euros of bills mature on Nov. 16, the official toldreporters in Brussels today on condition of anonymity.

Creditor countries will weigh whetherGreek legislation passed this week goes far enough in overhaulingthe economy and showing that Greece, the origin of thethree-year-old debt crisis, deserves to continue tappinginternational aid, the official said.
