UPDATE: Schaeuble Says Single Summit Can't Solve Debt Crisis

LONDON (Dow Jones)--The euro zone's debt crisis isn't over and discipline needs to be maintained to stop it spreading further, according to German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble.

In a letter to party comrades in the Bundestag, seen by Dow Jones Newswires, Schaeuble warned "it would be a mistake to think that the crisis of trust in the euro area can be solved by a single summit," although he argued that last week's decisions by heads of government were "an important step towards overcoming the Greek crisis and the preservation of financial stability."
