what history will remember is that these problems represented an opportunity for the eu to make more progress in its economic governance. what history will remember is that, once again, franco-german understanding allowed this progress to take place at the crew showed -- at the crucial moment. we must strengthen the effectiveness of european institutions. the next stage, the next step will be economic government of the 27th. whenever is necessary -- whatever is necessary, meetings will take place in the eurozone. only a few months ago, the words european economic governance were taboo. today, europe recognizes that a true european become a governance is necessary and even essential. -- european economic governance is necessary and even essential. france and germany have made ambitious proposals that were submitted at the council of ministers meeting. in october, the european commission will take the necessary decisions on the basis of proposals. but it cannot be limited to economic issues, however important they may be. there are also issues of security and defense. we will not defend

the eu strongly encourages the international community to support pakistan in a lasting manner, in a durable way. only if efforts are sustained can there be a long-term recovery. pakistan will be particularly high on the agenda of the next informal meeting of eu foreign affairs ministers at the beginning of september. and we are particularly looking forward to hosting the friends of democratic pakistan ministerial meeting in october in brussels, a meeting that will be able to take stock of relief provided and plan for rebuilding efforts. as it was set in the beginning of this meeting, humanity is calling. it is in times of adversity that we realize that true solidarity is not only about words and convictions, it is also about actions that make a difference in the life of people. let us now make sure that our solidarity is efficient, is coordinated, and is sustained. thank you very much. the minister for international development from the united kingdom. >> secretary general, president of the general assembly, excellencies, ladies and gentlemen,he british government would like to expr

the eu commissioner for humanitarian aid also promised tens and mobile hospitals. >> my biggest concern is that we are able to reach out to those who are most vulnerable. the disaster is so massive, there are so many people affected, that targeting those that are most in need is our priority. >> 800,000 pakistanis are living in a life-threatening conditions here this man's wife, the mother of four children, succumbed to a serious infection. there are not enough doctors to cope with the increasing number of infections. >> following the emergency phase to help rebuild the almost 400 health facilities, hospitals, clinics that have been damaged or destroyed in this disaster, to insure that routine care is available to all men, women, children, the elderly. >> pakistan's flood victims tell stories of much suffering and little hope. in the south, water is again spreading across low-lying areas. at least 19 people are reported dead in a crash in a passenger plane in the central african country of congo. witnesses say the aircraft crashed into a house after a boarding landing at an air strip. o

we will make specific proposals next month pertaining to the relations between russia, the eu, and nato. and with the summit in early december. ladies and gentleman, ambassadors, 500 million citizens and an economic clout, more than 35% of direct investments, analysts 60% of all public development aid, the e.u. holds the necessary cards to assert itself as a global economic power. but it must have the will to play these cards cannily as part as a strategy aimed at concrete results and reciprocal benefits. europe represent the world's largest market, and europe is the largest importer in the world. we must not have any conflicts in this regard. we must cooperate with the rules of fair trade. we must open up markets which have been too close to us. i denounce europe's naivete and its relationships with its major partners. we must fight to impose compliance with rules of fair trade. it is not protectionism. we must stop social dumping. we do not want to asked our farmers to apply laws which only apply to europe and exonerate producers outside europe. and we continue to import products that

dollars funds developed to essentially harvest certified emission reductions and trade them perhaps in the,eu, or in california. so there's a question whether the community wants their credit emission to leave the community but still, there's a lot of opportunities to others that may need assistance reducing the emissions. >> all right.. thank you. i think we're just about out of time and i wanted to just take the last couple of minutes to remind you that the website will be open. do you know how long laura? your going to talk about that. you have cards and you can put any comments on that. particularly if you have thoughts about what we, as agencies can do collectively to address to both prevent and address the impacts of climate change and, question two, is what specific things are you doing now to address it and would you like to share with other agencies and people involved in water supply. thank you alright. so much for being so active, and bringing such thought full comments to the general discussions. i want to thank our panelist for being energetic and having fresh thoughts after 36 h

the eu's maastricht treaty allows a member nations of the maximum deficit of 3% of gdp. for most eu nations, including germany, that means budget cuts will continue. european shares closed at a one- month low, weighed down by disappointing housing data from the united states. the poor figures are only adding to concerns over the pace of recovery in the world's largest economy. here's more from frankfurt. >> people's fears were confirmed when new data from the u.s. housing market came in. the home sales, existing hes, in julat t lowt lel that have been since the past 15 years. the realistic prices in united states is not over yet, one banker here in frankfurt said. and there are renewed fears that america, the u.s., will drop back into another round of recession. the housing market data, the fears for the housing and building market in general put a tremendous pressure on steelmakers and on housing shares. >> also something down. we will be back in frankfurt. staying there for a moment, we look at the numbers. the dax has fallen below the 6000 mark to 5935. the euro stoxx

these include the u.s., the eu and emerging economies such as india. the trading countries complain about china's protected policies. china, in turn, criticizes them for imposing anti-dumping taxes on chinese imports. last year china became the world's top exporting nation overtaking germany. china's exports were worth $1.2 trillion in 2009. >>> the japanese government is considering economic stimulus measures after the latest economic growth figures show that the economy is slowing down. the cabinet office said that the gdp grew at 0.4% from april to june. naoto kan asked his ministers to assess the situation. he wants to determine the impact from the scheduled end of the current stimulus programs. subsidies for fuel efficient vehicles will expire in september and a plan for eco-friendly home appliances will be terminated at the end of the year. satoshi arai also in charge of economic and fiscal policies says he'll wait for the revised gdp data due out in mid-september. he'll then decide whether additional measures are needed. >>> despite all the hype

but the eu says that now are -- that some of these are now consumer goods as opposed to technology goods. four german energy providers of threaten to pull out of nuclear power generation in protest over a proposed tax. the four say that 2.4 per year wrote tax would make nuclear power production and profit will. -- 2.4 your attacks. -- eruo tax. >> they have threatened to shut down due to a proposed tax on fuel rods. they see in light of the new tax, producing nuclear energy would no longer be profitable. nuclear power makes up about 60% of their production, and it constitutes about one-quarter of energy production at another company. a third company has nuclear power not playing such a large role, but they are all making billions in profits from nuclear energy production. the nuclear attacks would allow the government to claim a portion of that, about 2.3 billion euros per year. the energy companies have asked the government to drop the plan and extend this for another 15 years. they say halting nuclear production too quickly will drive up electricity prices and threaten the security of

the darker side is that belgian roads are among the most dangerous in the eu, with 90 traffic related deaths a year and a million inhabitants, almost twice as many in germany. years after picking up his license, he decided to take the driving test, and went on to qualify for his dream job -- driving instructor. >> much further south, in cairo, car accidents are a major concern. with millions of inhabitants and roads choked with cars, fender benders can be a common occurrence. learning to drive their presents different challenges to the ones europeans face. the standard approach to getting a licence is not enough. drivers must master the unique traffic conditions of overcrowded roads, as well as the usual driving techniques. >> ignition, clutch, first year, and pull away. it is the same wherever you are. in egypt, drivers have to master more nuanced techniques, like how to get the most out of your home -- most out of your horn. the highway code is a law unto itself. beginners have to be prepared for all sorts of challenges. on his first lesson, he was brought to a quiet street -- quiet

less than 2% of member states in the eu are finding less and less immigration. pepople are happy to stay home, if there is work. >> thank you for coming and sharing your ideas about immigration. the member for of 1981 i came to the united states -- november 1981 and came to the united states. i have been a resident of san francisco or the past few years. -- for the past 20 years. in my immigration practice, which i started with the help of the immigrant resource center, who was trying to help low- income immigrants adjust to life in the u.s. new life after amnesty, a lot of people were not able to immigrate because of a lack of money. still to this point, i see a lot of immigrants who want to get their work permits. i ask them how long they have been here. sometimes they have been here since the 1970's, 1980's, 1990's. a lot of them are elderly who are ready to retire. i had 165-year-old man who is alone, no family -- a 65-year- old man who is alone, no family here, but he does not have any papers to get that social security that he has contributed to for 30 year

in the eu economic recovery measures led to enormous increasing in public spending. the same time as another consequence of the crisis, eu faced sharp decrease in text revenues. all this led to public deficits, budget deaf sis, and widely public debts. the first references are found in states including italy, greece, and spain which had high property spending for many years. as you are all aware, greece marked the beginning of the -- from government bonds, they had to accept the highest grades introduction of the euro. this increased the payment obligations and review credit waiting even further, so we had a vicious circle which ultimately threatens the country's in 2010. it became a euro crisis with rapid shifts with investors massively pulling out of the euro. following government on the ninth of may you remember state agreed on the seven 150 ewe row rescue plan to save and protect all the big states too like spain. in total, loans were 500 billion euros were approved by the e. u. in addition, it was were available by the ims. in spite of the spes of these short te

what history will remember is that these problems represent an opportunity for the eu to make new progress since they led to the affirmation of its economic governors. history will remember that misunderstanding allow this to take place. greg: desk drawers understand what is key. what i take away is that we must strengthen the effectiveness of these institutions. the rag -- the next stage of the economic meetings between the 60 members of the bureau's own. only a few months ago for the words economic european economic government. this is necessary and essential. now it must be established in concrete terms that france and germany have made additional proposals that were submitted at the council of ministers' meetings. in october the year of a commission will take the next load on the basis of proposals. buchanan limit yourself to economic issues. there are also issues such as security and defense. we will not defend europe with procedures and paper. we have nuclear deterrence and in the face of new challenges, the europeans are lagging behind. they should also participate in ensuring the s

france has presided over the eu in the past. but this is much more complicated. there are many complement -- contradictory interests at stake. the peasants and the country people in china and france all require -- all have basically the same interest. a country like china can meet its monetary obligations and responsibility. consequently, we have the opportunity to make the forthcoming year a year for stability and security. france will play its part. the ambassadors, i depend on you to relay this message. france will continue to provide new ideas. france will be loyal to its past because we are bringing new concepts. fundamentally, perhaps the world needs new ideas in the 21st century, new projects, new ambitions. we must get out of the routine, which was useful in the 20th century, based on two world wars. france is ideally positioned. it is not a superpower. it is not a small power either. is it the heart of europe. france can disseminate these ideas. it will be a good year and a very interesting year. thank you for your attention.

the mutually justified absence of trust between iran and the eu has made it difficult for the eu to play a diplomatic role that it started of seven years ago. precisely because of this issue of trust, it may be necessary to look at other types of solutions. they lead diplomacy in order to make sure. there are some that people have to address after seven years of failure, there is a lot of exhaustion. it is interesting to see during the first month when they are having an iran review meeting with officials who have had extensive experience. it was quite clear the skepticism, seven years of which they had not succeeded in getting a solution. there is even a year that the u.s. and the obama administration would perhaps force them to go through everything they already went through a couple of years ago. this exhaustion is affecting the political will. i will get back to that. you also have the situation in which some of them are not necessarily seeking the exact same goals. they are not viewing that it is problematic for them. in one of the descriptions of the process to negotiate, it is ver
