Europa-Pakt polarisiert
Die EU-Kommission hat einen strengeren Euro-Stabilitätspakt und eine bessere Wirtschaftsaufsicht verabschiedet. Die Behörde zieht unter der Regie von Kommissionspräsident José Manuel Barroso (Foto) damit die Konsequenz aus dem griechischen Schuldendebakel, geplatzten Immobilienblasen in Irland und Spanien sowie der Eurokrise im Frühjahr. Die britische Financial Times zweifelt an den neuen Regeln, da diese voraussichtlich nicht gleichmäßig bei allen EU-Staaten angewandt würden. Folge: Große Staaten würden weiter die kleinen drangsalieren. Das Wall Street Journal greift den an die Kommission zu zahlenden Pfand in Höhe von 0,2 Prozent des Bruttoinlandsprodukts des betroffenen Landes auf, der bei Verstößen gegen den Pakt in eine Strafe umgewandelt werden soll - dieser falle in guten Zeiten zu klein aus und sei in schlechten Zeiten kontraproduktiv. Das Manager Magazin fordert einen EU-Währungsfonds, um drohende Insolvenzen abzufangen.

Terror Threats and Alerts in France


Eiffel Tower was evacuated Sept. 28 after an anonymous bomb threat against the symbolic Parisian tourist attraction was phoned in; no explosive device was found. The day before the Eiffel Tower threat, French authorities closed the Gare Saint-Lazare in central Paris after an abandoned package, later determined innocuous, was spotted in the train station.
These two incidents serve as the latest reminders of the current apprehension in France that a terrorist attack is imminent. This concern was expressed in a very public way Sept. 11, when Bernard Squarcini, the head of France’s Central Directorate of Interior Intelligence (known by its French acronym, DCRI), told French newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche that the risk of an attack in France has never been higher. Never is a long time, and France has long faced terrorist threats, making this statement quite remarkable. Read more »
