bawag versus EU

Bawag scandal is right on time to occupy austrian little mind. while austrians are preoccupied with bawag scandal and wonder who they will vote for in october (another great preoccupation of austrians is who wil win dancing stars shown every friday on orf) nothing is really said about brussels or even eu presidency. schüssel is doing this on purpuse in order to win next elections. austrians are not very found of eu therefore he minimize publicity on eu activities and eu presidency

Osteuropa-Forum

Osteuropa-Forum:"Südosteuropa: Traditionen als Macht"
Serbiens Ex-Außenminister Svilanovic kritisiert EU. "Beitrittsperspektive für Balkan wurde verwässert" Er wisse natürlich um die Erweiterungsmüdigkeit in der EU, so Svilanovic. Gerade deshalb sei aber "Leadership" der europäischen Politiker gefragt. "Sie müssen vor die Wähler hintreten und ihnen die europäische Idee erklären." Die Europäer würden ja ebenso etwa von Serbien verlangen, die Bevölkerung von unangenehmen Dingen zu überzeugen. "Man fordert von Premier Kostunica und Präsident Tadic, sie sollen der Bevölkerung erklären, dass Kosovo für Serbien verloren ist."

Grasser: The internal market must be completed, “We want to set a course towards a more competitive Europe, towards more investment in Europe and towards secure jobs. There was broad agreement on this on the part of the ministers. We want to see things get done. One thing is certain: the internal market must be completed. That means less fragmentation, greater deregulation, more liberalisation and fewer — but more efficient — regulations”, Federal Minister Karl-Heinz Grasser, President of the Ecofin Council, said at the press conference during the informal meeting of Economics and Finance Ministers in Vienna, which ended on Saturday.
