Dublin eyes economic recovery, bailout exit

Published on Jan 10, 2013

http://www.euronews.com/ Ireland wants to mark a successful EU presidency by taking more steps on the road to economic recovery.

That was the message from the country's prime minister Enda Kenny after a meeting between Irish officials and the European Commission.

Dublin is eyeing an exit from the troika's bailout programme before the end of the year.

"Ireland's recovery is in Europe's interest and obviously in our own interest - and that's part of our ambition as presidency," said Kenny.

The Taoiseach and his deputy, Eamon Gilmore, said Ireland could serve as a model to other indebted eurozone countries.

European Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso echoed their views, arguing that "restoring confidence is key" and that the question of a euro breakup is "no longer there".

The trio were speaking after a meeting between Irish officials and European Commissioners

France: Churches into Mosques | European Journal

Published on Jan 10, 2013

Church congregations in France are dwindling and the town of Vierzon is no exception. With a population of only 27,000, Vierzon is home to six Roman Catholic churches.

The Czech Republic on the Verge of a Blackout | European Journal

Published on Jan 10, 2013

European energy policy has become a highly-charged issue because the rapid expansion of green electricity in Germany is putting a strain on the power grid in neighboring countries.
Twenty percent of the electricity in Germany is generated from sustainable resources. Much of this is generated by wind farms in northern Germany and consumed in the southern part of the country. On especially windy days, the flow of electricity is spilling across Germany's borders and straining the power grids in neighboring countries. Now the Czech Republic is saying it will install security switches to avoid potential overload and blackouts. For more go to http://www.dw.de/program/european-journal/s-3065-9798
