UPDATE 4-European Factors to Watch-Shares seen down on China data

(Adds company news)
LONDON, Feb 9 (Reuters) - European shares headed for a lower open on Monday, tracking losses on Wall Street and in Asia, with disappointing Chinese trade data further raising concerns about the pace of economic growth in the world's second-biggest economy.
At 0744 GMT, futures for Euro STOXX 50 STXEc1 , Germany's DAX FDXc1 and France's CAC FCEc1 were down 0.8 to 1.2 percent.
Data on Sunday showed that China's trade performance slumped in January, with exports falling 3.3 percent from year-ago levels and imports slipping 19.9 percent, far worse than analysts had expected. ID:nL4N0VI057
The slide in imports is the sharpest since May 2009, when Chinese factories were still slashing inventories in reaction to the global financial crisis. Exports have not produced a negative annual reading since March 2014.
"Overnight data from China ... has continued to stoke the fears of a slowdown in the world's second largest economy," Jonathan Sudaria, analyst at Capital Spreads, said in a note. "The tension in Greece also continues to ratchet up."
Leftist Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras laid out plans on Sunday to dismantle Greece's "cruel" austerity programme, ruling out any extension of its international bailout and setting himself on a collision course with his European partners. ID:nL5N0VI0GE
In his first major speech to parliament since storming to power last month, Tsipras rattled off a list of moves to reverse reforms imposed by European and International Monetary Fund lenders: from reinstating pension bonuses and cancelling a property tax to ending mass layoffs and raising the mininum wage back to pre-crisis levels.
Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis said on Sunday that if Greece is forced out of the euro zone, other countries will inevitably follow and the currency bloc will collapse. Greece's new leftist government is trying to re-negotiate its debt repayments and has begun to roll back austerity policies agreed with its international creditors. ID:nL5N0VI0SB
Moody's said late on Friday it was placing Greece's government bond rating of Caa1 on review for downgrade as the agency warned that there was great uncertainty as to the result of talks between the country and its creditors, while Standard & Poor's also cut Greece's rating on Friday. ID:nL6N0VG4N2
On the data front, German exports posted their biggest increase since September in December while imports fell, data from the Federal Statistics Office showed on Monday. Seasonally-adjusted exports rose by 3.4 percent on the month, beating a consensus forecast for a 1.0 percent gain. ID:nL6N0VF4OX
