(Adds futures prices, detail)

LONDON, June 15 (Reuters) - European equity futures fell on Monday, impacted by a lack of concrete progress on Greece's debt problems which have pegged back the region's stock markets over the last week.

The euro zone's blue-chip Euro STOXX 50 futures contract STXEc1 fell 1.2 percent. Germany's DAX futures FDXc1 declined 1.4 percent while France's CAC futures FCEc1 retreated 0.9 percent. Britain's FTSE 100 futures FFIc1 also fell by 0.3 percent.

Talks on ending a deadlock between Greece and its international creditors broke up in failure on Sunday, with European leaders venting their frustration as Athens stumbled closer towards a debt default that threatens its future in the euro. ID:nL5N0Z008I

Concerns over Greece's debt situation weighed on European shares last week, with Athens' benchmark ATG .ATG equity index falling 5.9 percent on Friday. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
