AFP - France and Germany are proposing a special summit of eurozone leaders in March, French President Nicolas Sarkozy said at a European Union summit on Friday.
              
Sarkozy made the announcement alongside German Chancellor Angela Merkel as the two announced a joint plan to tighten economic governance across the 17-nation eurozone area.
              
The eurozone summit would allow leaders most directly affected by moves to fix flaws in the 17-nation monetary union and boost rescue funds, to debate which economic policies would be applied right across the economic bloc.
              
A favoured date emerging is March 4.

Another summit? You must be joking. If you want to fix flaws anywhere lets start from stupid ideas like this one. Wonder how much this one will cost? Where will it be held? Paris-Berlin duo? French people really need to stop Sarkozy's parties.

hope something good comes out
