Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel uses her mobile phone before a meeting at a European Union summit in Brussels December 9, 2011.
'We swiftly sent a request to our American partners asking for an immediate and comprehensive clarification,' the spokesman Steffen Seibert said in a statement.
He added that Merkel had made clear to Obama that if the information proved trued it would be 'completely unacceptable' and represent a 'grave breach of trust'.
