Speaking after talks with Finnish leaders, Van Rompuy reaffirmed the euro zone’s commitment to resolving this matter and his confidence in reaching an agreement with all the members soon. “Finland has specific sensitivities, but we have the common duty to find solutions for all the problems raised by the 17 member states”, he stated. Likewise, Primer Minister Katainen agreed on the need of finding a solution “suitable for Finland and the other creditors”.

Foreign ministers of the 27 member states of the European Union met in Sopot, Poland, at the weekend for their informal meeting under the Polish presidency of the European Union in the second half of 2011. The ministers, together with EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, discussed the EU's plans to support Libya, a possible oil embargo for Syria and the 'Eastern Partnership', the strategy for dealing with countries such as Ukraine, Belarus and Russia. The twice-yearly informal meeting of EU foreign ministers is also known as the 'Gymnich' meeting, named after the town in Germany where such regular meeting was first held.

The EU freed up yesterday (1 September) billions of dollars to help Libya's new rulers rebuild a nation torn by 42 years of one-man rule and six months of civil war, as Muammar Gaddafi urged his supporters to continue fighting. "Let it be a long battle. We will fight from place to place, from town to town, from valley to valley, from mountain to mountain," Gaddafi said in a message relayed by satellite TV on the anniversary of the coup that brought him to power in 1969. "If Libya goes up in flames, who will be able to govern it? Let it burn," he said, speaking from hiding. In further comments broadcast later, he vowed to prevent oil exports, in the kind of threat that stirs fears of an Iraq-style insurgency: "You will not be able to pump oil for the sake of your own people. We will not allow this to happen," Gaddafi said. "Be ready for a war of gangs and urban warfare." http://www.euractiv.com/en/global-europe/eu-lifts-assets-freeze-gaddafi-vows-fight-news-507233

EC denies pressuring Belgian government negotiations

Europe’s economy, the troubles with Greece and the euro and relations with Europe’s neighbors in the East and the Arab world are at the top of the EU’s agenda as eurocrats in Brussels return from their summer break and get back to work. The European Commission held a two-day seminar this week at the Africa museum in Brussels to kick-start their activities. President Jose Manuel Barroso is confident that Europe can overcome its problems. Frictions between member states over the Greek rescue package that was reached in July will continue to flare up during the coming weeks. Barroso’s commission will play a key role when it comes to ensuring that this Greek package is implemented. The weeks ahead will show many more important meetings at an EU level. Poland will host a number of key ministerial meetings, and the European Parliament has 2 plenary sessions scheduled in Strasbourg.

Euro parliaments pressed to approve July summit deal

The European Parliament on Monday expressed broad support and full confidence in the way that the European Central Bank is handling what clearly is the worst financial crisis since the second World War.   Addressing a packed committee-room in Brussels, ECB chief Jean-Claude Trichet said that the ECB, together with national central banks, has spent more than 115 billion euro since the crisis began. This money was spent on  distressed bonds from countries like Greece and Portugal in order to support the market. "The security market programmes strictly aims at correcting mal functioning of markets. The prohibition of monetary financing underlines precisely the fact that budgetary discipline is of the utmost importance”, Trichet said.   Responding to concerns about a possible lack of liquidity in the Eurozone, Trichet said that this simply was not a possibility because of the immense volumes of money that circulates in Europe.   Trichet said that buying troubled bonds in the open market does not clash ...

Europe's foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton travelled to Israel and the Palestinian territories this weekend in an attempt to get the parties to return to the negotiating table and get the Middle East Peace Process back on track.  Palestine is preparing to apply for membership of the United Nations in September. Ashton wants to push the Palestineans and Israel to get back to the negotiating table. The talks have been suspended for almost a year because of the dispute over Jewish settlements in Palestine. Ashton met with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Salam Fayyad on Sunday and also discussed the peace process with Norway's foreign minister. In her meeting with Israeli government representatives, Ashton was told that Israel feels that the Palestinian plan to seek UN statehood recognition is "counter-productive" and "misguided." Ashton's three-day visit to the Middle East ends on Monday with a visit to Jordan's King Abdullah.

Ashton said she had been informed that Libyan rebels now hold 80 percent of the capital Tripoli. The EU High representative reiterated its call on Gaddafi to “recognize the will of his people and stand aside”.

Starting at midday, the summit agenda "will be the financial stability of the euro area as a whole and the future financing of the Greek programme". 21 July is Belgium's National Day, and the local press predicts that Brussels police will be severely tested by having to handle in parallel two events of such magnitude. The announcement went some way to defuse uncertainty over the EU's readiness to act to prevent contagion from the Greek crisis from spreading to Italy ...

Poland is economically well-placed to take the lead in Europe in troubled financial times. It's economy is growing at a rate of about 3.5 percent per year, with rising incomes for most people.
