BERLIN (Reuters) - No one on the supervisory board of Deutsche Bank is pushing for a near-term merger with rival Commerzbank, a Deutsche board member said.

"At the moment conditions are definitely not ripe," said Frank Bsirske, a member of Deutsche Bank's supervisory board member and chairman of Germany's Verdi trade union.

"And for that reason it is currently not a topic either," he told journalists in Berlin on Thursday evening.
