CHENGDU, China (Reuters) - Europe's banking system is stronger as a whole due to reforms put in place in recent years but banks should continue to clean up balance sheets and address legacy quality issues, U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said on Sunday. Lew made the comments in a meeting with Italian Economy Minister Pier Carlo Padoan on the sidelines of a G20 meeting of finance ministers and central bankers in China, according to a statement from the Treasury.
