Standard & Poor's put 15 European Union nations on watch for a possible downgrade of their credit ratings as the continent's debt crisis lingers.

The threat to downgrade the euro zone countries — including the ones that enjoy the stellar triple-A-rating — comes ahead of a crucial summit of EU leaders later this week.

The nations include Austria, Belgium, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, the Solvak Republic, Slovenia and Spain.
