PITTSBURGH | Fri Sep 25, 2009 12:55pm EDT

PITTSBURGH (Reuters) - The Group of 20 nations reached a final agreement on regulating banker bonuses that calls on countries' regulators to apply corrective measures, such as higher capital requirements, on non-complying institutions, a European G20 source said on Friday.

The final text of the agreement reached by the G20 at the two-day summit being held in Pittsburgh is good from the perspective of the European Union, the source said.

The G20 final text also includes an agreement on rebalancing the global economy, with a strong emphasis on fiscal responsibility and structural reforms, the source said.
