The new French President Francois Hollande has stressed the need for growth in Europe at a news conference in Berlin with the German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Addressing the deepening crisis in the eurozone, he said everything must be put on the table at a forthcoming European Union summit. Mr Hollande, who has opposed some of the austerity policies backed by Mrs Merkel, reaffirmed France's commitment to a strong relationship with Germany.

法国新总统弗朗索瓦·奥朗德与德国总理默克尔在柏林举行新闻发布会，奥朗德强调欧洲需要发展。提到欧元区日益恶化的危机，他说一切都要在即将举行的欧盟峰会上谈。尽管奥朗德反对默克尔支持的一些紧缩政策，但他强调，法国会致力于同德国建立稳固的关系。

"I consider the relationship between France and Germany is a balanced and respectful one – balanced between our two countries, respectful of our political sensibilities and equally respectful as partners of Europe and the European institutions. We want to work together for the good of Europe, but by mobilizing all the other countries in Europe."
