Euro finance chiefs 'sign' deal for bailout fund

June 7, 2010-- Euro finance ministers fixed an unprecedented 440-billion-euro fund to dig debt-laden partners out of the mire, pressured by a dizzying fall for the single currency on Monday.

"We signed a few moments ago," said Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker, after world stocks plummeted on market anxiety that non-euro Hungary was entering a Greece-style meltdown in its public finances.

Juncker, who chairs the Eurogroup of finance ministers, said "some member states," namely Belgium and Slovakia, had still to ratify but a diplomat stressed that Germany had put pen to paper on the facility worth 525 billion dollars.

EU agrees to create new budget sanctions

June 7, 2010-- EU finance ministers agreed on Monday to design new sanctions that will allow partners to intervene before countries become too laden down by debt, EU president Herman Van Rompuy said.

In the first conclusions of a task force set up by all 27 national leaders to coordinate better economic governance across the world's biggest trading bloc, they also agreed to the principle that national budgets should be shown to European partners before they are fixed back home.

The move stems from concerns over Europe's debt crisis, which has forced eurozone governments and even EU partners, albeit to a much lesser extent, to cough up funds to bail out first Greece and now all struggling eurozone nations.

EU greenhouse gas emissions: more than half way to the '20 % target by 2020'

June 4, 2010--The European Union's greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory report, compiled by the European Environment Agency (EEA), shows that emissions have not only continued their downward trend in 2008, but have also picked up pace. The EU-27's emissions stood 11.3 % below their 1990 levels, while EU-15 achieved a reduction of 6.9 % compared to Kyoto base-year levels.

'The GHG inventory report shows that the EU is well on track to meet its emission reduction targets with domestic policy measures only. Our policies and tools seem to be working' said Professor Jacqueline McGlade, Executive Director of the EEA. 'Although we are expecting an even sharper decline in 2009, caused mainly by the recession, we need to ensure that the downward trend in emissions continues and that Europe boosts its climate investments, with the ultimate aim of achieving a more resource-efficient economy.'

The combination of high coal and carbon prices accompanied by a drop in natural gas prices in 2008 induced heat and electricity producers to replace more polluting coal by gas and as a result, reduce their GHG emissions. The use of biomass and other renewable sources (wind and hydroelectric power) has also increased significantly in 2008. The economic recession, which started during the second half of the year, also contributed to emission reductions from several sectors including the manufacturing and construction, and road transport sectors. Road transport emissions were also affected by high oil prices, the continued decline in gasoline consumption and a reversal of the upward trend in diesel sales.

Basic resources ETF rallies 11 per cent

June 4, 2010--Basic resource related exchange-traded funds in basic resources, steel and coal saw a sharp jump in returns of between four per cent and 11 per cent last week as equity markets rebounded, breaking several weeks of successive falls.

The report by ETF Securities shows that 2x long equity ETFs all posted strong gains last week on the snap back in global equities, led by a six per cent rise in the ETFX CAC 40 2x Long Fund.

Stronger growth, employment and housing data in the US, coupled with speculation that Chinese authorities may pare back tightening measures in the face of a more uncertain EU growth outlook helped markets look past ongoing uncertainties in debt and fiscal outlook for European economies.
