European shares fall after Greek talks collapse

London - European shares fell on Tuesday after talks between Greece and eurozone finance ministers over the country's rescue package broke down, raising doubts about Athens' future in the euro.

The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index was down 0.3% at 1 497.06 points at 10:03. Greece's Athex share index was due to open at 10:30.

Eurozone banks, which have a large exposure to the region's sovereign debt market, led the declines, falling 1%.
