Berlin---German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble urged his country's lawmakers to approve Friday Greece's four-month bailout extension, saying it was no easy decision but that it was needed.
"I'd like to ask parliament, each lawmaker, not to reject the request by the finance ministry, which wasn't easy for me either, because this would do great harm to our people and our future," Schaeuble told the German parliament ahead of a vote.
