Merkel, Sarkozy to Discuss Euro-Zone Situation



The Wall Street Journal
By Bernd Radowitz
German Chancellor Angela Merkel will later Friday talk to French President Nicolas Sarkozy over the telephone, with the “current situation in the euro zone” among the issues to be discussed, a spokesman for Ms. Merkel said Friday.

The spokesman had no further information. The conversation comes amid market concerns about the debt and deficit levels of Italy and Spain, the euro zone’s No. 3 and No. 4 economies.
Mr. Sarkozy also plans to talk to Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, the French president’s office said late Thursday.
