(AGI)Ludwigsburg-

France and Germany have "special responsibility" in the Eurozone crisis as they are "the driving force of Europe". 

In Ludwigsburg, in front of the same baroque palace where 50 years ago Charles De Gaulle launched the grounds for the Franco-German friendship and reconciliation that led to the Elysee Treaty of 23 January 1963, today Francois Hollande and Angela Merkel reasserted the Franco-German axis. 

"The only response to the crisis is Europe, it is Europe that will beat the crisis" Hollande said.
