Merkel, Sarkozy, Monti meet to try to stem crisis (AP)

STRASBOURG, France ? The leaders of Germany, France and Italy are set for debate on the European Central Bank's role in the region's debt crisis and on how to align eurozone economic policies.

It's the first time Italy's new prime minister, Mario Monti, is meeting German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy since Monti took charge last week, amid market panic about Italy's huge debts.

The meeting in Strasbourg, France on Thursday comes amid signs that even Germany and France ? the eurozone's biggest economies, and key to bailouts of weaker countries ? are also under strain.

Sarkozy's government is pushing for the ECB to play a more active role, something that Merkel strongly opposes.
