Even Germany exposed to eurozone crisis, says Napolitano (ANSA) - Berlin, March 1 - Even the "robust German economy is exposed" to heavy blows from the pan-European recession, Italian President Giorgio Napolitano said on Friday during a State visit to Germany.

"We are all in the same boat," Napolitano, who has voiced concern over growing populism and anti-EU sentiment in Europe, told journalists in Berlin.

"It would be legitimate to wait for expansion to be boosted by Germany as a contribution to real, not just forecast, growth and employment recovery in Europe".
