EU leaders meet amid concern about U.S. spying claims

European Union leaders are
meeting Thursday in Brussels for a summit
that may be overshadowed by anger about
allegations that the United States has been
spying on its European allies.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel
discussed the issue with U.S. President
Barack Obama on Wednesday, after the
German government said it had information
that the United States might have
monitored her cell phone.
The German allegation comes in the same
week that French daily newspaper Le
Monde reported claims that the U.S.
National Security Agency intercepted more
than 70 million phone calls in France over
a 30-day period.

Merkel's phone
The two-day EU summit in Brussels,
Belgium, is supposed to focus on the digital
economy and economic and social policy
issues, as well as concerns about EU
migration, after a recent shipwreck off an
Italian island in which hundreds of
migrants from Africa died.
