epa02940992 German Chancellor Angela Merkel walks off after a session in the German 'Bundestag' parliament in Berlin, Germany, 29 September 2011. Germany's parliament voted on expanding the eurozone's bailout mechanism, with some centre-right opponents likely to desert Chancellor Angela Merkel's government on the issue. The German parliament approved extensions to the eurozone bailout fund, in a closely watched vote on 29 September. The bill increases Germany's guarantee to the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF), from 123 billion to 211 billion euros (283 billion dollars). EPA/MICHAEL KAPPELER
