BERLIN (Reuters) - German government sources denied on Saturday a magazine report that Berlin might agree to issuing joint euro zone bonds in response to the current debt crisis affecting some nations in the 16-member currency union.

Focus magazine cited an unnamed official saying Berlin might drop its objections to an idea championed by Eurogroup President Jean-Claude Juncker, who believes it would help troubled euro zone countries like Greece, Ireland and Portugal.

But two German government sources said Berlin was still firmly opposed to the idea. It worries that the proposal would imply taking responsibility for the debts of other, weaker economies in the euro zone.
