Merkel: Berlin ready for compromise with France to reform Eurozone

German Chancellor Angela Merkel stated that the country needs to be ready to compromise with France on eurozone reforms, indicating her willingness to negotiate three weeks before a European Union summit at which reform plans are due to be debated.

"I think we will come towards each other with reforms to the currency union, but these reforms to the currency union are really not the only reforms we need," Angela Merkel said, discussing migration, development and security policies.

Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron are to present a common plan for eurozone reforms at the next European Council on 28 and 29 June.

A Franco-German Council is scheduled for June 19 at the castle of Meseberg, north of Berlin.
