Letter: D Day for euro

THIS week we hear that Italy is the latest euro country forced into emergency meetings to save its economy, followed closely by Spain apparently in the same predicament.

The economic strength of Germany will be put under great pressure, either to dig deep into their funds or cut their losses and pull out, leaving their banks and many banks in Europe carrying the load of debt that may never be paid back.

The next few weeks could be crucial for the future of Europe, not to mention the survival of the euro.
