Germany, France Find Need For Economic Governance In EU27

German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy agreed that more integrated economic governance is needed in the 27 nations of Europe. Both Germany and France expressed determination to speak with one voice.

Two leaders also noted that creating new institutions will not solve the problem. Merkel and Sarkozy talked to media after a summit on Monday, which was initially supposed to start in Berlin a week ago.

Merkel and Sarkozy in a joint letter will urge the chairman of G20 meeting to speed up reforms in financial regulation. They will also seek support for a financial transaction tax and bank levy. If a nation impose tax unilaterally, banks will move to other nations that have no such taxes.
