Germany, France plan quick new Stability Pact: report, BERLIN | Sun Nov 27, 2011 7:43am EST, ReutersThe Daily Telegraph is a daily morning broadsheet newspaper distributed throughout the United Kingdom and internationally. The newspaper was founded by Arthur B. Sleigh in June 1855 as the Daily Telegraph and Courier, and is since 2004 owned by David and Frederick Barclay.
According to a MORI survey conducted in 2005, 64% of Telegraph readers intended to support the Conservative Party in the coming elections.[3] It had an average daily circulation of 634,113 in July 2011 (compared to 441,205 for The Times).[2]
France and Germany are planning a quick new pact on budget discipline that might persuade the European Central Bank to ramp up its government bond purchases, Welt am Sonntag reported on Sunday.****Actually it seems the story was broken in Bild (ack ) but let's follow the trail******In an advance release before publication, Welt am Sonntag said that because it would take too long to change existing European Union treaties, euro zone countries should just agree among themselves on a new Stability Pact to enforce budget discipline - possibly implemented at the start of 2012.
It could be similar to the Schengen Agreement which applies to EU countries that choose to take part and enables their citizens to enjoy uninhibited cross border travel. Among the countries in the Stability Pact, there would be a treaty spelling out strict deficit rules and control rights for national budgets.
Geheimverhandlungen ber neuen Euro-Vertrag, 26.11.2011, Die Welt
Deutschland und Frankreich wollen offenbar bis Anfang 2012 einen neuen Euro-Stabilittsvertrag notfalls auch ohne Rcksicht auf die EU-Kommission.Wikipedia backgrounder on the newspaper Die WeltAuf die angestammte Rolle der EU-Kommission wollten Merkel und Sarkozy notfalls keine Rcksicht nehmen. Schon beim nchsten EU-Gipfel am 8./9. Dezember wolle das Duo seine Plne vorstellen. Scharfer Protest werde vor allem aus Grobritannien erwartet, das zwar nicht zur Euro-Zone gehrt, aber nicht weiter an den Rand gedrngt werden wolle.
Merkel und Sarkozy wollen neuen EU-Vertrag, 26.11.2011 07:55 Uhr, BildIt was founded in Hamburg in 1946 by the British occupying forces, aiming to provide a "quality newspaper" modelled on The Times. It originally carried news and British-viewpoint editorial content, but from 1947 it adopted a policy of providing two leading articles on major questions, one British and one German. At its peak in the occupation period, it had a circulation of around a million.[1]
The modern paper takes a self-described "liberal cosmopolitan" position in editing, but Die Welt is generally considered to be conservative.[2][3]
The average circulation of Die Welt is currently about 209,000 and the paper can be obtained in more than 130 countries. Daily regional editions appear in Berlin and Hamburg, and in 2002 the paper experimented with a Bavarian edition. A daily regional supplement also appears in Bremen. The main editorial office is in Berlin, in conjunction with the Berliner Morgenpost.
Die Welt is the flagship newspaper of the Axel Springer publishing group. Its leading competitors are the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, the Sddeutsche Zeitung and the Frankfurter Rundschau. Financially, it has been a lossmaker for many years.
Deutschland und Frankreich drcken aufs Tempo! In Rekordtempo soll ein neuer Euro-Stabilittsvertrag erzwungen werden -mglichst schon zu Beginn nchsten Jahres! Damit soll endlich Ruhe an den Finanzmrkten einkehren.Wikipedia backgrounder on the Bild newspaperNach BILD-Informationen erwgen Kanzlerin Angela Merkel und Frankreichs Staatsprsident Nicolas Sarkozy sogar, den neuen Stabilittspakt zunchst als Vertrag zwischen den Nationalstaaten zu schlieen -hnlich dem anfnglichen Abkommen ber den Wegfall der Personenkontrollen in der EU ("Schengen-Vertrag"). Der Vorteil: Das geht schneller und lsst skeptischen Mitgliedsstaaten weniger Raum fr Widerstand. Auf die EU-Kommission wollen Merkel und Sarkozy notfalls keine Rcksicht nehmen.
The Bild (formerly Bild-Zeitung[clarification needed], lit. Picture Newspaper; pronounced [ˈbɪlt]) is a German tabloid published by Axel Springer AG. The paper is published from Monday to Saturday, while on Sundays, Bild am Sonntag (lit. Picture on Sunday) is published instead, which has a different style and its own editors. Bild is tabloid in style, although actually broadsheet in size. It is the best-selling newspaper outside Japan and has the sixth-largest circulation worldwide.[1] Its motto, prominently displayed below the logo, is unabhngig, berparteilich (independent, nonpartisan). Another slogan used prominently in advertising is Bild dir deine Meinung!, which translates as "Form your own opinion!" (i. e., by reading Bild), a pun based on the fact that in German, Bild (more properly Bild'!, a short form of Bilde!) can also be understood as the imperative form of bilden, "to shape, to form".
Bild's nearest English-language stylistic and journalistic equivalent is often considered to be the British national newspaper The Sunthe second highest selling European tabloid newspaperwith which it shares a degree of rivalry.[2][3][4]
