If Europe's single currency fails, so would the Union itself. The warning comes from the EU president, who was speaking ahead of the meeting of the Eurozone's finance ministers. Portugal has warned it could be forced out of the Eurozone, and Ireland is also being urged to use European bailout money to prevent bankruptcy.

Amadeu Altafaj Tardio, EC spokesperson for economic and monetary affairs answered the journalists during the daily midday briefing concerning Ireland, Portugal and Greece financial situations. Anxiety over heavy government debts in Europe has flared up again as investors questioned whether Ireland, Greece and Portugal can cut their budget deficits without choking off desperately needed economic growth. Europe's most indebted countries find themselves in a downward spiral of budget cuts and economic stagnation. The European Commission answers that no country has yet sollicited the European Stabilisation Mechanism and even the weakest of member States have their debts under control.
The Irish opposition's finance spokesman says he believes European intervention is "underway" and that matter will "come to a head in 24 hours". Michael Noonan, of the centre-right Fine Gael party, said he was "extremely concerned" that weekend rumours about a £67bn European Unionbailout were true. His comments come after justice minister Dermot Ahern labelled the allegations as "fiction", saying no application had been made to Europe for assistance. "There are no negotiations going on. If there were, the government would be aware of it, and we are not aware of it," said Mr Ahern. Reports have been circulating for several days that a possible bailout is underway to deal with Ireland's soaring borrowing costs. The struggling republic is apparently under pressure from the EU to accept aid in a bid to prevent its problems plunging the entire eurozone into crisis, as happened with Greece. Ireland is struggling after years of a booming economy But Batt O'Keeffe, the minister of enterprise, trade and innovation, has hit back at rumours, saying: "We have every confidence that we will be able to manage this economy. "It's been a very hard-won sovereignty for this country and this government is not going to give over that sovereignty to anyone." However, rumours of difficulties have persisted As the 'Celtic Tiger' struggles, many EU competitors are scenting an opportunity: to force Ireland to bring its low corporate tax rates more into line with their own. . In response, EU ...

Bailouts and recessions prove that the existent money has no substancial value - it is fictional. Bailouts will continue = as well as the recession - this will bring the middle class closer and closer to the poverty line. The Equal Money System proposed by the Equal Life Foundation is the solution to this degradating capitalistic monetary system. The Equal Money System will put an end to poverty and the abuse of life in the name of greed and the self interest promoted by the current monetary system.

www.StockMarketFunding.com Ireland Leads Surge in Sovereign Default Swaps on Bailout Costs CDS Cost Rise. Ireland 5-Year Sovereign CDS Rise To 505 basis points. "Ireland debt" issues weigh on stock markets on the opening bell. LONDON (Dow Jones)--The cost of insuring Irish sovereign debt against default using credit default swaps rose significantly early Tuesday, before recovering slightly, as concerns about the cost to Ireland of supporting its banking system continue to worry markets. Ireland's five-year sovereign CDS spreads rose to 505/525 basis points mid-morning, before recovering slightly to 495/515 basis points, around 32 basis points higher from Monday's closing level, according to data provider Markit. Ireland's CDS have never closed above 500 basis points. "Sovereign debt risk concerns will linger in the euro-zone with Ireland firmly in the spotlight," credit strategists at BNP Paribas SA said in a note. "With its CDS at its highest, it will continue to weigh on credit markets in the very short-term." An investor said that the wide gap--around 20 basis points--between the bid and offer levels that dealers were quoting suggests that the market was illiquid. Ireland's CDS have risen steadily since early August as fears around the bailout of its crippled banking system have grown. Moody's Investors Service Monday downgraded some of the debt of Anglo Irish Bank Corp., saying it was unclear whether the debt would benefit from government support under plans to split ...

Germany is very smart in rejecting a bailout of Eastern Europe; they need to think of themselves first and foremost. I guess the European Union has hit a bump in the road to their dream of becoming united, where nationalities and borders no longer matter. The Germans are sounding pretty nationalistic to me, and I don't blame them. Why should Germany have to pay for the incompetence, or misfortune of other countries? That would be like taking tax money from competent innovative companies and then giving it to incompetent and mismanaged companies. Who in their right mind would do something like that? Why would someone want to reward failure? It makes no sense to me, and apparently it makes no sense to the Germans either. jbranstetter04 Germany rejects Eastern Europe bailout Germany on Sunday rejected appeals for a single multibillion-euro bailout of Eastern Europe, even after Hungary begged European Union leaders not to let a new "Iron Curtain" divide the Continent into rich and poor. The swift, strong comments by Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany dampened hopes that leaders at the EU summit meeting Sunday could forge a unified stance to tackle the worsening economic crisis. As Europe's largest economy, Germany has been under increasing pressure to take the lead in rescuing eastern EU members, but Merkel insisted that a one-size-fits-all bailout was unwise. "Saying that the situation is the same for all Central and Eastern European states, I don't see that," said Merkel ...
