BERLIN | Mon Jan 10, 2011 5:24am EST

BERLIN Jan 10 (Reuters) - European Union aid for Portugal is not on the agenda of an upcoming meeting of finance ministers from the bloc, a spokeswoman for the German finance ministry said on Monday in response to a media report.

"To our knowledge Portugal is not on the agenda of the finance ministers' meeting (next week)," spokeswoman Jeanette Schwamberger said. "It is up to individual euro zone member states whether they need help from the rescue fund."
