BRUSSELS, Nov 10 (Reuters) - Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou promised on Tuesday to fix Greece's statistical reporting after criticism from fellow European Union countries and the European Central Bank. After a meeting of EU finance ministers, Papaconstantinou also vowed to reduce Greece's ballooning budget deficit. But he said Athens would not set a deadline until early next year for cutting the gap below the EU's ceiling of 3 percent of gross domestic product.
