Sarkozy: no second chance after Friday euro summit link

@stratosathens And this is the 22nd chance RT @ollybarratt ‘if we don’t find an agreement by tomorrow, there will be no second chance.’ #sarkozy

@chrisadamsmkts Sarko: If we do not reach a deal on Fri, there will be no second chance. If a deal among 27 impossible, we do one among 17 EZ states
