ATHENS, Dec 8 (Reuters) - Greece's securities regulator 
extended a short-selling ban on bank shares to Dec. 21, it said 
on Tuesday. 
    A previous ban expired on Monday. 
    The board of Greece's Capital Market Commission met on 
Monday and decided to extend the ban since the recapitalisation 
of Greece banks is ongoing, the regulator said in a statement.
