Germany's Merkel presses France, Italy on economy
German Chancellor Angela Merkel
Berlin - SPA
German Chancellor Angela Merkel is adding to the pressure for eurozone heavyweights France and Italy to do more to get their finances and economies in order, AP reported.
The European Union's executive commission last month opted against sanctioning the two countries right now for missing public finance targets, giving them until the spring to come up with better plans to cut their debts and deficits.
Merkel was quoted as telling Sunday's Welt am Sonntag newspaper that the decision is "justifiable" because France and Italy are in the process of reforming.
