The Council will monitor closely the situation on the ground, keep its measures under constant review and respond positively to progress on ongoing reforms
If the international financial markets begin to lose faith in France, the second-biggest industrial nation in the European Union, it will weaken the euro. This country alone (Germany) will not be able to stabilise it.
we are aware of the Fitch negative credit watch and of course if they were to downgrade The Netherlands that would be a problem for the EFSF as well.
If there is any value at all in the European Union existing as a functioning body ... this is the time to show its capabilities.
I don’t think that just because of this the whole reconciliationprocess between the NLD and the president will fall apart, but younever know ... People are stubborn here.
I see a great chance to make decisions in the European Union not just about the savings path but also to draw consequences from the economic crisis much more strongly than in the past.
There is no plan or decision, but some consideration, as far as I know. It could, possibly, be a good idea

Hollande will try to create a new French-German consensus in terms of boosting growth in the European Union
It is very clear there is still a flare of violence that affects the lives of people
Even though Hollande indicated he will repudiate Sarkozy's agreement with the European Union, in reality he cannot do it ... It is understood that a new government cannot repudiate or renegotiate a treaty signed by the previous government.

The economic recovery is not only important for the EU but also the whole world, including China
