TALLINN (Reuters) – Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Friday she wanted to agree a clear line on euro zone reforms in talks on a new coalition government in Germany.

Speaking at a European Union summit in Tallinn, she added:

&ldquo-At the moment, we don&rsquo-t have an acute crisis to manage, and so the time we have won – with a relatively good economic situation, relatively good growth, more jobs in Europe – can be used to work on the further development of the European Union.&rdquo-
