Brussels reactions to Nobel Peace Prize

Published on Oct 12, 2012 by Euronews

http://www.euronews.com/ There is talk of a buoyant atmosphere and even champagne as eurocrats use Twitter to express their joy at the EU being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

However, on the streets of Brussels, the reaction is mixed.

"I think it's good and encouraging to give this award to the EU during these times of crisis, because when everything is going well there's less impetus for change," said one man outside the European Parliament.

Another passerby was sceptical: "This is not representative of the Nobel, we are accustomed to seeing the prize going to a person who has risked things. And there are too many things a bit too dark in the European Union to justify this award," he said.

As the 27-member bloc deals with debt problems that are causing internal squabbles and the pushing of national agendas, some see the prize as a warning not to let union fall into disarray.

One such person is Charles de Marcilly from the Fondation Robert Schuman, a research centre which studies the EU and its policies.

"Populism is now a real threat to the integrity of this model of European integration and moving towards living together better.

"With this award, the Nobel Committee has tried to say: "Watch out for populism, pay attention to the limits and risks so they don't break what you have worked so hard to build," said de Marcilly.

Collecting the prize could also be an issue for the EU, according to euronews correspondent in Brussels Audrey Tilve: "The question now is whether representatives from the Council, from the Commission or from the European Parliament will actually receive the Nobel Peace Prize - another way to test the nobility European unity."

euronews reporter: Gold Rush In Romania

Published on Oct 12, 2012 by Euronews

http://www.euronews.com/ This mountain contains Europe's biggest gold deposits. With the economic crisis, the price of gold is rocketing and there are plans to open new gold mines in Spain, Portugal, Slovakia, Greece, Northern Ireland and Romania.

The Rosia Montana - Red Mountain - project is among the most controversial, due to the sheer size of the proposed site, the impact on environment, and the archaeological artefacts from Ancient Rome which are found all over this 2000 year-old site.

Team-leader Calin Pal checks the preservation works being carried out in the protected section of the site, criss-crossed by galleries dug by the Romans. He says: "There are at least three generations of miners before me: My great grandfather, my grandfather, and my father. My hope is that the next ten generations will go on mining here too."

Most locals feel the same way. They want the Canadian investors to start blasting as soon as possible. But opponents fear that the Roman galleries will be destroyed. To ease tensions, the "Gold Corporation" is investing millions of euros to transform at least part of the Roman galleries into an underground museum.
