EU 'can not wait' for constitution

Europe can not wait for a constitution before pushing ahead with increased EU decision-making on justice and foreign policy, Finnish leader Matti Vanhanen has told MEPs. The Finnish prime minister on Wednesday set out his priorities for Helsinki’s EU presidency to the European parliament.Finland takes the EU helm from Austria for a six month stint at the tiller before Germany takes over in the first half of 2007.Finland must keep the EU’s constitution on ice but will prepare the ground for a German roadmap to a new treaty by pushing current decision-making powers to the limit.

Vanhanen told MEPs that EU leaders must use existing European treaties to boost streamlined decision making by reducing national vetoes in key areas such as justice.Europe cannot afford to wait for new decision-making rules. It must start to increase the effectiveness of the way it functions now,he said Increasing the union’s effectiveness will require some bold decisions from Europe’s leaders and decision-makers. We cannot just think of the here and now, and the next elections.That means taking painful decisions now to help create a better future. We must also be prepared to give some ground when defending national positions and think about Europe’s interests as a whole.

Vanhanen also insisted that the EU can not wait for greater foreign policy in the protracted period of reflection” that has followed French and Dutch referendum rejections of the constitution.One big setback are stalled plans to make Javier Solana an EU “foreign minister and European commission vice-president.In June, Europe's leaders agreed to fast track crisis response coordination and maintain a January 2007 deadline for an EU rapid reaction military force.The EU can not allow a period of refection in external action, said Vanhanen.The union’s voice in the world will be heard only if it is coherent. We will make further improvements to the union’s crisis management and the rapid reaction troops should be fully ready by 2007.

The coordination of civil and military crisis management must be further coordinated. Left-wing Finnish MEP Esko Seppänen accused Vanhanen of implementing the constitution by the back door and militarising the EU. In 1999, the Finnish government betrayed its own people and pushed ahead with the setting up of EU military institutions, he said.Again, it is going against the will of citizens by agreeing to make combat troops available without a UN mandate.Vanhenen has asked the Finnish parliament to ratify the EU constitution, despite, claims Seppänen, This government neither has the confidence of citizens in Finland nor across Europe. It pressed ahead with ratification of the European Constitution despite the fact that a mere 22 per cent of Finns support the ratification, he said.This shows a lack of respect for democracy and the decisions of the French and Dutch people.Martin Schulz, leader of the parliament’s socialist group, registered a protest over claims Finland was undemocratic.

A strong earthquake, measuring magnitude 5.1, struck at 8:04 p.m. Monday 80 miles off Amchitka Island, according to the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center in Palmer. The quake was among dozens powerful enough to feel that have been jostling the waters outside Amchitka over recent weeks, including one Saturday that measured magnitude 6.7 and was felt in Adak around 12:40 p.m., said Paul Whitmore, director of warning center.Three other quakes followed the large quake Saturday night, all measuring above magnitude 5.It’s definitely a swarm of earthquakes, Whitmore said. We see this from time to time in different areas of the Aleutian arc. Contact Julia O'Malley at jomalley@adn.com or (907) 257-4325.

JAMES 5:1-3
1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

EZEKIEL 7:19
19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

Syria Plans to End Dollar Peg, Moves Half of Reserves to Euros

July 11 (Bloomberg) -- Syria, under fire from the U.S. for the alleged support of terrorism, plans to end its currency peg to the dollar by year-end to reflect closer trade ties with Europe, central bank Governor Adib Mayaleh said. The Central Bank of Syria has already converted half its foreign-exchange reserves to euros, Mayalmi said in a telephone interview from Damascus, without being more specific. Syria's reserves, including gold, totaled $4.1 billion at the end of 2005, according to the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency.

We want to have a currency peg that will reflect our external trade, Mayaleh said yesterday. The European Union is Syria's largest trading partner, taking half of its exports, he said. The country may instead link the Syrian pound to a weighted group of currencies including the euro or loans from the International Monetary Fund that are known as Special Drawing Rights, Mayaleh said. SDRs comprise the euro, dollar, yen and British pound.

Most Middle East countries, including the six oil-producing Persian Gulf monarchies and Jordan, peg their currencies to the dollar. Egypt and Iraq manage floated currencies. The Syrian pound is pegged at 52.2 versus the dollar, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Central bankers from Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Russia, Sweden and Finland have this year indicated they aim to diversify their reserves away from the dollar. The euro is appreciating this year after its first annual decline since 2001. It traded at $1.2750 at 12:27 p.m. in London today, from $1.1849 at the start of the year.

Increased Trade

The Syrian government is ``studying options'' with regard to ending the dollar peg, Abdullah Dardari, the country's deputy prime minister for economic affairs, told reporters on the sidelines of a conference in Damascus on June 10. Syria last year sold $2.9 billion of goods, including crude oil and textiles, to the European Union, according to data from the European Commission. Imports from the EU totaled $2.7 billion. That compares with $155 million from the U.S., based on figures from the U.S. Census Bureau.

The U.S. imposed sanctions on Syria in May 2004, including a ban on trade transactions with the Commercial Bank of Syria, in an effort to halt exports to the country that stands accused by President George W. Bush's administration of aiding militants in Iraq and pursuing weapons of mass destruction. After the fall of the Ottoman Empire in 1918, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine and Jordan used the Egyptian pound as their official currency while under British and French control.

In 1924, France, which controlled Syria and Lebanon, introduced a franc-based currency for the two countries that lasted until the outbreak of the Second World War. In the 1960s, Syria's major trading partners were communist- controlled Eastern European states such as Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia, reflecting its political ties with the Soviet Union. In the 1970s, that shifted toward Western Europe, which accounted for 49 percent of Syrian imports in 1975 and 56 percent in 1976, according to the U.S. Library of Congress. By 1984, West Germany, France, Italy and Japan were Syria's biggest suppliers of goods including machinery, transport equipment, and iron and steel. In 2004, Turkey, followed by the Ukraine, China and Russia were its biggest sources of imports, according to the CIA.

LUKE 17:28-32
28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
32 Remember Lot's wife.
