Report of developments in the eurozone debt crisis on the 14 September 2011. This include a speech by José Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission to the European Parliament in which he called on eurozone members to implement their promised measures to protect the euro. Mr Barroso called for the swift ratification by all 17 eurozone governments of an expansion of the capacity and powers of the €440bn rescue fund, as well as a final agreement on new rules to force greater budget discipline. Mr Barroso promised to come forward soon with a set of options to create a new euro bond. Separately, France and Germany offered their full support for Greece remaining in the eurozone in a conference call between the leades of the three countries, but made an emphatic appeal to Athens to implement promised economic reforms as a way of stabilising the bloc. |
