Berlusconi apology not enough, say MEPs

ITALIAN Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi expressed regret for his Nazi gaffe last night - but only to German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder.

A brief phone call from Rome to Berlin brought the row to an end as far as Mr Schroeder was concerned.

However, furious Euro MPs say that is not good enough. They want an apology addressed to the entire European Parliament, which was stunned by Mr Berlusconi's outburst yesterday.
