2001-07-08 If the EU economy can grow stronger than the US economy, then the EU can be in a stronger position to push the issue of US metrication. G7 SAYS EU ECONOMY REACHING TURNING POINT, WILL GROW MORE THAN US ECONOMY The current phase of stagnation in the world economy seems to have reached a turning point and with it comes the possibility that the European economy will outpace the American economy in 2001. This projection was made by the ministers of finance of the European Union's G7 nations. The economy of the euro-zone, although in a slowdown phase right now, is poised to end the year on a note of revival. Three areas are targeted for continued focus: reform of investment banks, the end of financial abuses, and reduction of third world debt. John Keiner ist hoffnungsloser versklavt als derjenige, der irrt�mlich glaubt frei zu sein. There are none more hopelessly enslaved then those who falsely believe they are free! Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)
