EUROPA - Press Releases - Statement by EU Commissioner for Economic and Monetary Affairs Olli REHN on the approval of 2011 Budget by the Portuguese Parliament
Statement by EU Commissioner for Economic and Monetary Affairs Olli REHN on the approval of 2011 Budget by the Portuguese Parliament I welcome the approval today by the Parliament of Portugal of the 2011 Budget. The budgetary strategy of Portugal is appropriate, with ambitious fiscal targets and broadly appropriate measures to reach the deficit target of 4.6% of GDP in 2011. Of course this fiscal consolidation effort, which is indispensable to build a sound basis for medium- term growth and jobs, will have to continue in subsequent years. By approving today this ambitious Budget, but also by implementing fiscal policy in a strict manner and pursuing an ambitious structural reform agenda to increase potential growth and jobs, Portugal will reinforce confidence in its economy. |

ListenCalling leaks 'damaging,' Bush says Wikileaks will hurt U.S. relations - CNN.com
- Former President George W. Bush spoke Monday at Facebook HQ in California
- He says the Wikileaks release will make it "very hard to keep the trust of foreign leaders"
- Bush says he has "no desire to generate publicity," adding he's "had enough of fame"
- His memoir, "Decision Points," has been a best-seller since its release two weeks ago
(CNN) -- Former President George W. Bush joined a chorus of U.S. officials calling any leaks of sensitive government information "very damaging," telling a forum at Facebook headquarters that Wikileaks' recent release of 250,000 documents may significantly hurt Washington's image abroad.
"It's going to be very hard to keep the trust of foreign leaders," the nation's 43rd president said of the documents on issues ranging from Iran to Honduras to Turkey. "If you have a conversation with a foreign leader and it ends up in a newspaper, you don't like it. I didn't like it."
A relaxed Bush was joined by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on stage in Palo Alto, California, with hundreds watching from the audience and up to 6,500 following the interview live online.
The hourlong discussion centered on Bush's memoir, "Decision Points." Released just over two weeks ago, the book ranks atop the New York Times' hardcover nonfiction best-seller list, topping works by the likes of rapper Jay-Z, rocker Keith Richards and the late Mark Twain.
The president made it clear that pitching that memoir was his main reason for visiting the social network's office, saying, "you have got a lot of people paying attention, and I'm trying to sell books."
Revealing secrets online 
Governments react to leaked cables 
Anti-American or pro-democracy? 
Should secret documents be made public? Still, beyond hawking his 481-page memoir and pushing several initiatives from the George W. Bush Institute, Bush said he had no desire to intervene in day-to-day politics or be the center of the world's attention once again.
"I have no desire to generate publicity," said Bush, 64. "I've had enough of fame, and I want to go back to a life that is productive ... without generating the [limelight]."
Beyond passing references to current events, like calling South Korea a "force for peace," Bush focused on key moments from his time in the Oval Office from January 2001 to 2009. He offered anecdotes, talked about sports and even kidded with Zuckerberg, no stranger to the spotlight after this year's hit movie "The Social Network," which presented one version of Facebook's rise.
The president admitted personally using "the Facebook" since leaving office, pointing to his 600,000 online friends. And he playfully, though publicly, asked Zuckerberg to join him in a "joint venture" promoting public education -- in light of his initiatives at the Bush Institute and Zuckerberg's donation this fall of $100 million toward improving public schools in Newark, New Jersey.
As he has in other interviews, Bush stated his confidence that the decision to invade Iraq was just, predicting that Iraq will become a crucial hub of democracy in the Middle East. He said that promoting "freedom" -- be it personal, political, educational or economic -- will be central to his post-presidency life.
"We're involved in an ideological struggle that will eventually be won, as freedom prevails," Bush said.
While his standing has improved, a poll released this month shows that four in 10 Americans say Bush was a poor president, and another third rate him as average. Another 28 percent rated him as a good or as one of the greatest presidents ever, up from 20 percent when he left the Oval Office in January 2009.
The CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll was conducted November 11-14, with 1,014 adult Americans questioned by telephone. The survey's overall sampling error is plus or minus 3 percentage points.
Bush said he won't criticize President Barack Obama, saying, "it's not good for the country ... [and] I don't want to." And Bush said he's learned, from his time as a business and political executive, how to handle criticism -- including when to ignore it and when to learn from others -- and come to grips with what others think of him.
"Anybody can distinguish between someone who is trying to be helpful and someone who is trying to hurt you," Bush said. "You don't have to be a rocket scientist or a college graduate, for that matter." Here he pointed to Zuckerberg, who dropped out of Harvard to found Facebook.

WikiLeaks: Vizekanzler Westerwelle "Verhältnis zu USA nicht belastet" - Portal Liberal, FDP -
(29.11.2010) Die WikiLeaks-Veröffentlichung hunderttausender Berichte des US-Außenministeriums sorgt derzeit für helle Aufregung. Die Liberalen sehen das eher gelassen. FDP-Chef Guido Westerwelle erklärte am Montag, "Klatsch- und Tratschgeschichten" über Politiker in Europa halte er nicht für wirklich relevant. Er sorge sich mehr, ob die Publikation der Depeschen Sicherheitsgefahren berge.
Wir arbeiten eng und freundschaftlich zusammen
US-Außenministerin Hillary Clinton habe ihn angerufen und ihr Bedauern über die Veröffentlichung zum Ausdruck gebracht, sagte Außenmnister Guido Westerwelle am Montag in Berlin. Mehr sei "nicht nötig". "Was das deutsch-amerikanische Verhältnis angeht, kann ich Ihnen versichern: Wir arbeiten mit der amerikanischen Regierung eng und freundschaftlich zusammen, und das wird auch so bleiben".
Die Veröffentlichung dieser internen Dokumente sei ein bedauerlicher Vorgang, "dessen Schaden sich angesichts der großen Datenmenge nicht abschätzen lässt", erklärte der Vizekanzler. Er habe das Auswärtige Amt angewiesen, das Material ausführlich zu prüfen. Wichtig sei, ob die nationale Sicherheit davon berührt werde, so der Liberale. Er sorge sich zudem um die Sicherheit von Informanten. So gebe es etwa Gesprächspartner der deutschen Regierung in Ländern, die nicht so freiheitlich organisiert seien.
Kritische Einschätzungen über ihn nannte er "unbedeutend". An die Journalisten gewandt sagte er: "Es soll nicht zu lässig klingen. Aber ich habe von Ihnen schon andere Sachen lesen müssen."
Deutsch-amerikanisches Verhältnis nicht belastet
Entwicklungsminister Dirk Niebel (FDP) sieht das deutsch-amerikanische Verhältnis ebenfalls durch die Veröffentlichungen nicht belastet. Das Verhältnis sei stabil, sagte er am Montag in Berlin. Allerdings werde sich jeder überlegen, wem er in Zukunft welche Dinge ganz offen sage.
Er wundere sich über die Aufgeregtheit. "Man hätte genauso gut den 'Spiegel' der letzten drei Monate veröffentlichen können. Das hätte ähnliche Inhalte mit sich gebracht", sagte Niebel. "Das eigentlich Interessante an dem Thema ist die Frage von Datensicherheit, Datenschutz und dem Umfang, in dem Daten gesammelt werden."
Wirtschaftsminister Rainer Brüderle (FDP) sagte zu den Veröffentlichungen: "Das zeigt, dass man kaum Gespräche führen kann, die nicht öffentlich werden. Man kann damit leben. Man muss es nur wissen." MEHR ZUM THEMA:
IMF Reaches Staff-level Agreement with Ireland on €22.5 Billion Extended Fund Facility Arrangement
Press Release No. 10/462
November 28, 2010
Mr. Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), issued the following statement today on Ireland:
“The Irish authorities have today proposed a clear and realistic package of policies to restore Ireland’s banking system to health and put its public finances on a sound footing. Immediate actions to tackle vulnerabilities in the banks and continued strong fiscal adjustment are set in a multi-year policy framework for sustained growth and job creation.
“In recent years, Ireland has resolutely carried out bold policies in a very challenging environment, and I have confidence in its ability to implement this new program. Supported by substantial financing, this program can underpin market confidence and bring Ireland’s economy back on track.
“The strategy for the financial system rests on twin pillars: deleveraging and reorganization; and ample capitalization. A fundamental downsizing and reorganization to restore the viability of the system will commence immediately.
“At the end of this process, a smaller, more robust, and better capitalized banking system will emerge to effectively serve the needs of the Irish economy. The transition to this goal will be buttressed by substantial recapitalization based on higher capital standards and stringent stress tests and asset valuation to accurately determine the quality of banks’ loan portfolios. In addition, structural measures—a special resolution scheme for deposit-taking institutions and a further strengthening of the supervisory system—will impart greater stability.
“On the fiscal side, the program incorporates a comprehensive National Recovery Plan that covers a period of four years. The plan will form the basis for the 2011 budget and also details fiscal consolidation measures through 2014. The process of budget formation will be reformed to safeguard these gains and bring greater sustainability to public finances.
“The fiscal plan strikes an appropriate balance between revenue and spending measures, and maintains Ireland's due regard to a social safety net.
“To restore strong sustainable growth the program includes a strategy to remove potential structural impediments to enhancing competitiveness and creating new employment opportunities. It also details appropriate sectoral policies to encourage exports and a recovery of domestic demand, thereby supporting growth and reducing long-term unemployment.
“A financing package of €85 billion (about US$113 billion) will support Ireland’s effort to get its economy back on track. Of this, the European Union and bilateral European lenders have pledged a total of €45.0 billion (about US$60 billion). The Irish authorities have decided to contribute €17.5 billion to this effort from the nation’s cash reserves and other liquid assets. The Fund’s contribution would be through a three-year SDR 19.5 billion (about €22.5 billion; or US$30.1 billion) loan, representing about 2,320 percent of quota, under the Extended Fund Facility (EFF). The IMF has activated its fast-track procedures for consideration of Ireland’s funding request, and I expect the EFF will go to the IMF Executive Board for approval in December.”
The choice of an EFF offers Ireland a facility with a longer repayment period, with repayments to the Fund starting after four and a half years and ending after 10 years. The IMF charges member countries a uniform interest rate on nonconcessional loans, which is a floating rate based on the SDR interest rate, which is updated weekly. (The SDR interest rate is a weighted average of yields on three-month Treasury bills for the United States, Japan, and the United Kingdom, and the three-month Eurepo rate.) For amounts up to 300 percent of quota, the lending interest rate is currently 1.38 percent, while the lending rate on amounts over 300 percent of quota includes a surcharge that is initially 200 basis points and rises to 300 basis points after three years. At the current SDR interest rate, the average lending interest rate at the peak level of access under the arrangement (2,320 percent of quota) would be 3.12 percent during the first three years, and just under 4 percent after three years.

They recommended that all necessary steps be taken to accelerate production and marketing of strategic agricultural and nutritional products and encourage gover n ments to support agricultural development plans and improve agricultural product i vity through the enhancement of farmers' skills in using agricultural inputs and
improved seed types in a bid to increase the production of products and improve t he income of small-scale farmers.
The forum called for the encouragement of African and European businessmen with very good material resources to invest in projects based on innovative technique s leading to a diversified economy and the creation of renewable energy projects i n Africa.
It urged European, African regional and national development institutions to fin ance the small and medium projects in African countries and particularly in the a gricultural area, to fill the food gap.
The forum recommended the creation of a funding mechanism capable of financing l arge projects, with the potential to highlight the major projects with high econ o mic and technological returns, as well as the support and encouragement for the c reation of complementary common project for the domestication of industry and te c hnologies for projects related to renewable energy.

TEDxPentagon: The Human Stories | The White House
Today, eleven remarkable people will give eleven riveting talks. What's unique about them, besides experiences like being a female engagement team Marine in Afghanistan or an explosive ordinance disposal technician in Iraq, is that they're all from the Department of Defense. The eleven speakers of TEDxPentagon represent America's men and women in uniform, and the families who stand strong alongside them. Watch the live stream here.
Like other remarkable speakers who come together under the umbrella of the TED conferences (Technology, Entertainment, and Design), these speakers will share experience, lessons, and stories that range from wonderful to terrifying, and enlightening to inspiring.
TED's mission is to share "Ideas Worth Sharing". The men and women of the America's military have many such stories. For the past few months, team members from the Army, Navy, Marine, Air Force, and military civilian communities have been working together to curate bring together a small sample of speakers who will share ideas that really are worth sharing. The Department of Defense organized TEDxPentagon to share the human side of a military that can seem vast and imposing to many. They are stories of innovation, bravery, and hope, and serve as a reminder that our military is made up not just of weapons and gadgets, but of people, too. I hope that these men and women will inspire you as much as they inspired me, and that you will tune in and watch the event live at www.livestream.com/tedxpentagon.

PRESSEERKLÄRUNG
Erklärung der Chefredakteure der MDS-Zeitungen
Die Chefredakteure der Zeitungen der Mediengruppe M. DuMont Schauberg haben sich auf folgende Erklärung verständigt, die morgen in den Zeitungen erscheinen wird.
Seit sechs Wochen werden wir beinahe täglich mit Interviews und Statements von Konstantin Neven DuMont konfrontiert. Über andere Medien, vor allem "Bild Köln", breitet er Interna des Medienhauses M. DuMont Schauberg ebenso wie Familien-Angelegenheiten öffentlich aus. Im "Spiegel" müssen wir lesen, Konstantin Neven DuMont finde den Verlag zunehmend unsympathisch. In "Bild Köln" hieß es, die Qualität der von uns geführten Zeitungen habe sich seit seiner Beurlaubung vom Vorstandsamt dramatisch verschlechtert. An anderer Stelle behauptet er, jeder mache bei MDS, was er wolle, der Wert des Unternehmens sinke. Es gebe ein Führungsvakuum, und die Mitarbeiter stünden unentschlossen zwischen ihm und seinem Vater. Sämtliche Behauptungen widersprechen der Wirklichkeit, die wir täglich erleben und setzen unser gemeinsames Haus herab sowie alle, die es repräsentieren und dafür arbeiten. Das ist Anlass für unsere Erklärung.
Wir, die Chefredakteure der MDS-Zeitungen, stehen zu den Beschlüssen des Aufsichtsrates, Konstantin Neven DuMont aus seinen Ämtern abzuberufen, beziehungsweise zu beurlauben. Aus Respekt gegenüber der Person und aus Loyalität gegenüber dem Unternehmen und seinen Gesellschaftern haben wir in der Öffentlichkeit bisher keine Stellung genommen. Allerdings ist Loyalität aus unserer Sicht eine Verpflichtung auf Gegenseitigkeit. Auch wir vertreten dieses Haus nach außen. Wir haben erwartet und erwarten daher, dass Konstantin Neven DuMont seinen Teil der Verpflichtung anerkennt und wahrnimmt. Zu den selbstverständlichsten Regeln gehört, der publizistischen Konkurrenz kein Material zu liefern, das im Wettbewerb gegen uns verwendet wird und Personalangelegenheiten intern und vertraulich zu behandeln.
Aus dem Kreis aller Mitarbeiter der Mediengruppe erreichen uns irritierte und besorgte Fragen. Umso mehr müssen wir Wert darauf legen, dass die tägliche Arbeit in unseren Redaktionen und Verlagen nicht länger durch abträgliche und substanzlose Äußerungen beeinträchtigt wird.

Der Vorstand der Mediengruppe M. DuMont Schauberg und die Geschäftsführer der Unternehmensbereiche Köln, Berlin, Frankfurt, Halle und Hamburg stimmen der Erklärung der Chefredakteure ausdrücklich zu und begrüßen sie. Wir sind uns in der Beurteilung des Verhaltens von Konstantin Neven DuMont und der sich daraus ergebenden Konsequenzen einig.
