Responses to EU summit deal
Concern over the state of the Eurozone remains high across Europe, despite the agreement to work towards a new treaty that will bind nations closer together. Many Europeans are still worried over rising levels of debt in their own economies, and high levels of unemployment.
EU leaders may be a step closer to halting the debt crisis and saving the euro but many Italians are still worried
Their government recently agreed a 30 billion euro austerity package to cut the country's mountain of debt.
Marina D'Ambrosio, Rome resident, said, "I am so worried about things. I hope they can agree because the alternative will be devastating."
Raffaele Florio, Italian businessman, said, "Merkel seems to be much stronger than everyone else when it comes to decision making. If we can't reach an agreement with everyone I think the collapse of the euro is a real concern."
In Greece - which has already received a bailout - many feared it was too late for them.
George Gikas, Greek citizen, said, "The Europeans look after their own interests, any decisions they make at the moment I won't be in favour of weaker countries like ours."
Nikos Chourtis, Greek citizen, said, "The Germans and the French only care about themselves, not the Greeks. The Greeks must look after themselves."
Most Greeks want to remain in the euro but many analysts believe the country could still default.
