BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The collapse of German Chancellor Angela Merkel's talks to form a three-way coalition government is "bad news for Europe" given the leading role of the European Union's biggest member state, the Dutch foreign minister said on Monday.
Germany's political crisis was weighing on the euro and European shares after the pro-business Free Democrats (FDP) unexpectedly pulled out on Sunday from weeks of talks with Merkel's conservatives and the ecologist Greens.
