The German and Italian leaders have pledged to do everything to protect the eurozone, their governments said Sunday July 29, 2012 - further underlining European politicians' determination to get a grip on the continent's debt crisis, but again offering no details of any action. Chancellor Angela Merkel and Premier Mario Monti spoke by phone Saturday and "agreed that Germany and Italy will do everything to protect the eurozone," German government spokesman Georg Streiter said in a statement. Monti's office said they agreed to "take all necessary measures to protect the eurozone." (AP Photo/Riccardo De Luca, File)
