German Chancellor Angela Merkel speaks to Frank-Walter Steinmeier, leader of the Social Democratic Party's (SPD) parliamentary group, before addressing the Bundestag lower house of parliament in Berlin March 25, 2010, ahead of a crunch EU summit in Brussels. Merkel stuck to her hardline position on Greece ahead of the EU summit starting 26 March, saying she refused to violate 'the trust' of the German people in the euro.
