(BRUSSELS) - The eurozone is considering holding an emergency meeting of the bloc's 17 leaders on Friday to discuss the spiralling debt crisis, diplomats told AFP on Tuesday.
"A meeting of eurozone leaders is under consideration," one diplomat said, adding that no final decision has been taken. EU president Herman Van Rompuy is "mulling an extraordinary summit on the debt crisis," another diplomat said.
The summit plans highlight mounting concerns in Europe that the debt crisis will force Greece to declare default and contaminate Italy and Spain, the eurozone's third and fourth largest economies.
