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
The sale of church buildings has become commonplace in France - but a recent proposal to convert a church to a mosque has triggered a nationwide controversy. 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. To balance its books, the local diocese decided to sell one of the churches. But tempers flared after a Moroccan Muslim organization said it wanted to buy the church and convert it to a mosque.

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

Bhutan focuses on Gross National Happiness
Published on Jan 8, 2013
http://www.euronews.com/ The tiny Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan is making waves with its radical approach to measuring development.
Instead of, as in the rest of the world, measuring the state of the nation in terms of material wealth or GDP, Bhutan is integrating the promotion of happiness into education, and then measuring how happy the people feel. The government believes this is the only indicator that counts, and the idea is strongly promoted by Bhutan's much-loved Royal couple.
