MADRID, Jan 17 (Reuters) - The Spanish and German governments share the opinion that the European Union's fiscal rules that set limits on public deficits and debt are too complex and hard to comply with, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on Monday after meeting his German counterpart.

"We coincide (in the opinion) that the fiscal rules are too complex and hard to comply with," Sanchez told reporters standing alongside Olaf Scholz.
