There are still many difficult issues to be resolved ahead of a summit of the Group of 20 leading economies (G20) in Hamburg later this week, a German government spokesman said on Monday.

“Tomorrow the final sherpa round starts and without going into details here, I can say that there are still a lot of difficult questions pending,” spokesman Steffen Seibert told a news conference.
