Markets tumbled across Europe in response to the announcement by the Greek government to hold a referendum on the agreement which is expected to take place in a few weeks.
"France and Germany are determined to ensure, with their European partners, the full implementation in the quickest time frame, the decisions adopted at the (Oct. 27) summit, which are today more important than ever," Sarkozy's office said in a statement following a telephone call between the two leaders on Tuesday to discuss Greek plans for a referendum on the package.
The meeting, which comes just before a Nov 3-4 gathering of G20 heads of states in Cannes, on the French Riviera, was hastily arranged for Wednesday afternoon after European leaders were taken by surprise by Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou's decision.
"France and Germany are convinced that this accord will enable Greece to restore lasting growth," the statement said. "In consultation with our European partners and the IMF, (we) would like a road map to be quickly agreed to ensure the implementation of this deal."For the latest updates on the stock market, visit Stock Market Today For the latest updates PRESS CTR + D or visit Stock Market news Today
