World leaders on Monday urged Europe to resolve the current euro zone crisis that is threatening the world's economy. G20 members want the EU to act faster, after pro-bailout New Democracy's victory in Sunday's Greek election failed to calm the financial markets. President of the European Commission Jose Manuel Barroso welcomed the election result and pushed Greek leaders to form a government quickly. Facing critics who blame the EU for slowing down the global economy, Barroso also said that Europe does not need lessons in democracy nor how to run its economy. G20 leaders are expected to release a joint statement calling for a coordinated plan to boost growth and create jobs. Major developing economies are also set to agree to more contributions to the International Monetary fund.

Speaking before the European Parliament in Strasbourg, European Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso on Wednesday urged European member states to take decisive action to tackle the euro crisis. "In some of our countries , we have worrying developments in terms of the rise of poverty and social exclusion.", said Barroso.

The European Commission on Wednesday unveiled a new proposal that will protect taxpayers from banks that go bust. Under the new draft legislation, shareholders and creditors would be forced to accept losses of troubled-banks instead of using public-funded bailouts. The new plan also allows member states to take control of crisis-hit banks and replace the management. Each institution would also have to create a special fund dedicated specifically for potential future crises. The proposal is considered to be a step forward towards the so-called 'banking union' championed by ECB's chief Mario Draghi. This would include setting up a single European fund to directly bailout banks. Until now, each country is responsible to rescue its own banks if needed. The idea, however, hasn't been well received in wealthy countries like Germany, as it could lead them having to bailout other banks. The new legislation is unlikely to take effect before 2014 and with a bail-out looming over Cyprus and Spain, it might ...

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday urged the European Union to speed up the process of visa-free travel between Russia and the 27-nation bloc. The announcement came after a 2 day summit in Saint Petersburg attended by European Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso and European Council president Herman Van Rompuy. After 4 years of talks, the two powers still strongly disagree on issues ranging from energy supply to trade regulations, making it difficult for a new framework agreement to be reached. The EU wants the Kremlin to fight against corruption and strengthen the rule of law in order to improve Western private investment. Russia and the European Union are strongly linked. Europe heavily depends on Russia's energy exports. Russia has increasingly demanded European goods to meet growing demand from the Russian middle class. Also in the agenda was the Syrian crisis.

They will meet in only a few hours. The new French president Francois Hollande has already warned German Chancellor Angela Merkel that he wants growth to be the way out of the crisis. After being sworn in, Hollande delivered a 10 minute speech in which he vowed to "open a new path for Europe", marking the end of the 'Merkozy" era. Angela Merkel said that she will "welcome the new leader with open arms". However, Hollande's proposals, such as issuing eurobonds to boost European investment or allowing the ECB to lend directly to governments, are totally opposed by the Chancellor. As uncertainty grows in Europe, markets fell again on Monday amid the Greek political turmoil and anti-austerity protests across the continent. As for Brussels, some are wondering why Hollande's first official visit is not to Barroso. According to a Commission's spokesperson, Barroso and Hollande are set to have their first meeting on Thursday during the NATO Summit in Camp David.

Discussions of a Greek euro exit, or a Grexit, have become more prominent in Brussels after Greek leaders failed to form a coalition government since elections were held on 6th of May. But eurozone finance ministers on Monday reaffirmed their commitments to keep Greece in the euro zone. But the EU also warned the Greek authorities that the austerity measures agreed need to be implemented. Greece is due to receive a second bailout in early June in order to avoid default. For the first time since the crisis erupted, President of the European Commission Jose Manuel Barroso admitted that it would be better for Greece to leave the euro zone if it was unable to meet its obligations. The Greek president has proposed to form a technocrat government amongst the skepticism of the Greek people. New elections now look almost certain. According to the latest polls, anti-austerity radical-left coalition party Syriza would become the main political force.

The victory of French social-democrat Francois Hollande in the Sunday’s presidential elections creates a completely new dynamic on the European agenda.   The newly elected president has openly positioned himself against Germany's way of managing the euro crisis, emphasizing that Austerity can no longer be the only option.   EU Commission Chief Jose Manuel Barroso, a member of Sarkozy’s political family, welcomed Hollande's victory. Barroso said both leaders share the same growth-driven view for Europe.   The socialist leader has never held a ministerial post and is new to the international stage. He has promised to push for a re-design of the EU Treaty on government debt, to create 60.000 teaching jobs and to apply a 75% tax on the richest.

The second largest economy in Europe and a debt-ridden country on the brink of default. France and Greece are holding elections this Sunday in what can be the day that Europe re-shapes its economic future. According to the latest polls, French socialist frontrunner Francois Hollande is 7 points ahead of his rival President Nicolas Sarkozy. Hollande has openly rejected the current austerity trend that dominates Europe in favour of growth-oriented measures. "The French elections are going to be a big game-changer for Europe and probably for the world. I'm sure Francois Hollande will win the elections and then we will have a different kind of France, a different kind of French-German relationship, different kind of european priorities. I expect that a lot will change as far the growth objectives are concerned", says Georgi Gotev, Senior Editor at EurActiv.com.

European Finance Ministers on Wednesday met in Brussels to agree on new capital requirement rules for banks. The new law affects over 8000 banks across Europe. It aims to give them more flexibility to protect themselves against future financial crisis.   The Danish presidency hopes to reach a deal on the new capital rules among EU member states before the summer. Their proposal would allow national regulators to ask for a 3% increase of capital without permission from the European Commission. Anything above that would still have to get the green light from Brussels. "Basically what we are doing discussing capital requirement is to make sure that the financial sector is sound and solid both in order to avoid crisis but of course also in order to enable the financial sector to provide guarantees, loans, whatever for businesses in order to make them create jobs”, said Margrethe Vestager, Economics Minister for Denmark, EU Presidency H1 2012.   The EU countries strongly disagree on how flexible they can be ...
