EU Council President Herman Van Rumpoy has called an emergency meeting of top officials dealing with the eurozone crisis.
EU central bank president Jean Claude Trichet will attend the meeting, along with Jean Claude Juncker, chair of the region's finance ministry, EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso and Olli Rehn of the Economic and Monetary Affairs Commission.
The talks came after Italian assets were sold off on Friday, increasing fears that Italy could be next to suffer in the debt crisis.
It has the highest sovereign debt ratio relative to its economy after Greece.
EU figures with
dodgy names such as Trichet,
Juncker add to crisis.
