EU Leaders To Hold Conference Call On Euro, Greek Poll Ahead of G20

June 15, 2012

European Union leaders will hold a video conference call Friday to discuss the crisis in the eurozone ahead of next week's Group of 20 (G20) summit in Mexico, a spokeswoman for the British government said.

She said Prime Minister David Cameron would be joined in the call by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Francois Hollande, Italian Premier Mario Monti, Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, EU Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso and European Council president Herman Van Rompuy.

The spokeswoman described the link-up as a "routine call" ahead of the G20, but added that the eurozone crisis and the elections in Greece were likely to be discussed in the context of the summit.
