Eurozone crisis 'real danger' to all Europe: Osborne

The eurozone crisis is "a real danger" to all Europe's economies, including Britain, said Chancellor George Osborne as he arrived for crunch EU talks urging a quick fix to the crisis. "What we're going to be arguing for at this meeting is a comprehensive solution to this crisis. We've had enough of short-term measures, sticking plaster that just gets us through the next few weeks."
As concern mounts that Europe's troubles threaten to drag down the entire world economy, Osborne said: "The crisis of the eurozone is a real danger to all of Europe's economies, including Britain." "We need to address the root causes of the problem with a lasting solution that will help all of Europe's economies."
