| Italy has called for emergency G7 talks and the European Union worked ''night and day'' to ready new rescue funding as eurozone lending costs soared and stocks plunged amid fears of a renewed global recession.
As Europe scrambled to head off pressure on the single-currency zone, on Friday the Italian Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi, said after telephone talks with the French President, Nicolas Sarkozy, that G7 finance ministers would meet ''in a few days''.
''The situation is very difficult and requires co-ordinated action,'' Mr Berlusconi said after talks with several European leaders. ''We have to recognise that the world has entered a global financial crisis that concerns all countries.''
