PARIS (Reuters) - Questions of Greece exiting the euro or rescheduling its debt are not on the agenda, European Economic Affairs Commissioner Pierre Moscovici told Le Monde newspaper in an interview published on Wednesday.

Moscovici added that the European Commission wanted Greece to remain in the euro zone.

"The Commission wants Greece to stay in the euro zone," he was quoted as saying. "It's important for monetary union - its integrity."
