Input: (CNN) -- As fears rise around emergence of a "two-speed" eurozone, the head of Italian clothing giant Benetton says the region's southern economies should not be discounted. The eurozone's debt crisis has exacerbated a split between the strong economies, led by Germany, and those which are struggling, such as Italy. However Alessandro Benetton, deputy executive chairman of the retailer -- which has 6,400 stores across 120 countries -- told CNN: "Germany needs Europe just as much as Europe needs Germany." While Benetton acknowledges southern Europe is not producing as much as its northern counterparts, he said they should not be ignored. "If Germany thinks it can do it by itself without Europe, I think it's wrong because in a global market the critical mass is important," he said.The head of Benetton says Europe's southern economies should not be discountedAlessandro Benetton says Germany needs Europe just as much as Europe needs GermanyHe thinks southern countries should be encouraged to behave better
