BBC. 15 March 2002. Reform dominates EU summit. BARCELONA -- European leaders have been discussing economic reform at a two-day summit in Barcelona, amid the biggest security operation the city has ever seen. Police broke up a crowd of several hundred anti-globalisation activists, beating several with batons, in the historic Ramblas district some way from the summit venue. Reports say about a dozen of the protesters were taken into police custody, along with another four who overturned a car. Tens of thousands of trade unionists marched through Barcelona on Thursday to voice their concern at the prospect of US-style economic liberalism spreading to Europe. The authorities have sealed off the summit site from the rest of the city, using cement and steel wire barricades. There have also been reports that hard-line German and East European anarchists are heading for the city, leading to fears of violence at the biggest planned demonstration on Saturday afternoon. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
