Sierra Leone records 121 Ebola deaths in a single day-Reuters-SEPT 5,14-YAHOONEWS
FREETOWN (Reuters) - Sierra Leone recorded 121 deaths from Ebola and scores of new infections in one of the single deadliest days since the disease appeared in the West African country more than four months ago, government health statistics showed on Sunday.The figures, which covered the period through Saturday, put the total number of deaths at 678, up from 557 the day before. The daily statistics compiled by Sierra Leone's Emergency Operations Centre also showed 81 new cases of the hemorrhagic fever.Ebola was first reported in Guinea in March and has since spread to neighboring Liberia and Sierra Leone in what has become the worst epidemic of the disease since Ebola was identified in 1976.Smaller outbreaks in Nigeria and Senegal were brought under control. The United States last week confirmed its first Ebola case, a Liberian national who had traveled to Texas.The overall death toll from the epidemic reached 3,439 out of a total of 7,492 cases in West Africa and the United States as of Oct. 1, the World Health Organization said last week. The U.N. agency's statistics varied from those compiled by Sierra Leone.After an initial slow response, international assistance and supplies are now pouring into West Africa.The United States is deploying around 4,000 military personnel to the region to support efforts to combat the outbreak in Liberia, the country worst hit by the disease.Britain and China have sent personnel to Sierra Leone. Cuba dispatched a 165-member medical team, including specialists and nurses, to Sierra Leone last week.The country's deputy health and sanitation minister Madina Rahman said on Saturday that the Cuban team's mission would last at least six months.She said the team would be deployed to areas across Sierra Leone.(Reporting by Umaru Fofana; Writing by Joe Bavier; Editing by Jonathan Oatis)
Ebola patient in Dallas 'fighting for his life' says CDC head-Reuters-SEPT 5,14-YAHOONEWS
DALLAS (Reuters) - The first person to develop Ebola in the United States was struggling to survive at a Dallas hospital on Sunday after his condition worsened to critical, the director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control said.Thomas Eric Duncan became ill after arriving in Dallas from Liberia two weeks ago - heightening concerns that the worst Ebola epidemic on record could spread from West Africa, where it began in March and has killed more than 3,400 people."The man in Dallas, who is fighting for his life, is the only patient to develop Ebola in the United States," CDC Director Dr. Thomas Frieden said on CNN's "State of the Union."Duncan's case has highlighted problems that American public health officials are trying furiously to address: The Dallas hospital that admitted him initially did not recognize the deadly disease and sent him home, only for him to return two days later in an ambulance."The issue of the missed diagnosis initially is concerning," Frieden said, adding that public health officials had redoubled their efforts to raise awareness of the disease."We're seeing more people calling us, considering the possibility of Ebola - that's what we want to see," he said on CNN. "We don't want people not to be diagnosed."Frieden said he was confident the disease would not spread widely within the United States. U.S. officials are also scaling up their response in West Africa, where Ebola presents an enormous challenge, he added."But it's going to take time," Frieden said. "The virus is spreading so fast that it's hard to keep up."In Dallas, a spokesman for Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, Wendell Watson, said Duncan remained critical on Sunday. He would not elaborate.In Nebraska, another hospital is preparing for the arrival of an Ebola patient who contracted the disease in Liberia, a spokesman said on Sunday. Nebraska Medical Center spokesman Taylor Wilson would only identify the patient as a male U.S. citizen expected to arrive on Monday.Fox TV in Boston identified the Nebraska patient as Ashoka Mukpo, a freelance NBC cameraman working for NBC who contracted Ebola in Liberia. It said he was expected back in the United States on Sunday.The Nebraska hospital last month also treated, and released, Dr. Rick Sacra, an American missionary who also contracted Ebola in Liberia. Sacra was admitted to a Massachusetts hospital on Saturday for a likely respiratory infection that is not believed to be a recurrence of the disease, hospital officials there said.The CDC has identified 10 people who had direct contact with Duncan as being at greatest risk of infection. Another 40 were being monitored as potential contacts, out of a group of 114 people initially evaluated for exposure risks, though none from either group has shown symptoms, Frieden said.Ebola, which can cause fever, vomiting and diarrhea, spreads through contact with bodily fluids such as blood or saliva.

NATO can put troops wherever it wants, new secretary-general says-Reuters-SEPT 5,14-YAHOONEWS
WARSAW (Reuters) - New NATO secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg said on Sunday that the Western alliance could deploy its forces wherever it wants, apparently calling into question post-Cold War agreements that have been shaken by Russia's actions in Crimea and Ukraine.Stoltenberg was visiting NATO member Poland to reassure it that NATO would provide the protection it sought against its former communist master, Russia, which in recent months has annexed the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine, and been accused by the West of sending troops and equipment to back pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine.At a summit a month ago, NATO leaders agreed to set up a "spearhead" rapid reaction force that could be sent to a hotspot within days, and to pre-position equipment and supplies in eastern European countries to receive the force if needed.But they rejected appeals from NATO members in Eastern Europe, including Poland, to station thousands of troops there permanently -- partly because of the expense, and partly because they did not want to break a 1997 pact under which NATO promised Russia it would not permanently station significant combat forces in the east.Stoltenberg appeared to take a tougher line in Poland, however."Next year, at the ministerial meeting, we will take decisions regarding the so-called spearhead but, even before it is established, NATO has a strong army after all. We can deploy it wherever we want to," Stoltenberg told the state broadcaster TVP Info."These capabilities already exist. We have them, and we can deploy them in individual regions. And this is only an add-on to what the alliance already has."Stoltenberg, a former Norwegian prime minister, took over on Wednesday as NATO secretary-general, at a time when the alliance is wrapping up its combat mission in Afghanistan but faces new challenges from a resurgent Russia to the east and from Islamic State militants on the borders of Turkey, NATO's southernmost member.NATO has made clear it will not intervene militarily in Ukraine, which is not an alliance member, but has reinforced the defenses of its eastern member states. Russia has repeatedly denied sending forces or equipment to the rebels in eastern Ukraine.(Reporting by Anna Wlodarczak-Semczuk; Writing by Marcin Goclowski; Editing by Kevin Liffey)

10/ 3/2014 - VATICAN INSIDER-Synod on Family to end with a text voted on by the Fathers-A Synod of Bishops-The “Relatio Synodi” will be sent to the Pope and to bishops across the world, along with an attached questionnaire, ahead of next year’s Ordinary Synod-Iacopo Scaramuzzi
vatican city-The Extraordinary Synod on the Family which opens next Monday (5-19 October) will end with a “concluding document”, a Relatio Synodi which will be voted on by the Synod Fathers. The document will be sent to the Pope and to Bishops’ Conferences across the world, along with a “short questionnaire”. It is being sent ahead of next year’s Ordinary Synod. The news was announced today by the Synod Secretary, Cardinal Lorenzo Baldisseri, at a press conference in the Vatican. The Tuscan cardinal said he hoped the Synod discussions would be “free”, “peaceful” and “honest”.“The “Relatio Post Disceptationem” produced at the end of the first week will form the basis for the work that will follow in the second week in the “circuli minores” and which the Synod Fathers will examine before the concluding “Relatio Synodi” document is published. This final document will be sent to the Holy Father,” the Tuscan cardinal said. The “Relatio Synodi” differs from the concluding messages usually published at the end of every synodal assembly (this time Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi has been asked to write the message). It replaces the proposals (“propositiones”) the Synod Fathers usually sent the Pope during these assemblies. “There will be no “propositiones”. The document will be published as one single “propositio”,” Baldisseri explained to journalists. Participants will vote on the text on Saturday 18 October in the afternoon. The vote will be a simple “yes” (“placet”) or “no” (“non placet”) vote, Cardinal Baldisseri explained. Even the reports which single work groups (“circoli minores”) will present at the plenary session will be voted on first. The document “will be published at a suitable moment, one or two days after” the vote. The work of the second assembly – the Ordinary Synod on the Family, scheduled for 2015 – will be based on this document. It will be “sent to Bishops’ Conferences” around the world, so that they can formulate a response and examine the content of the working document. The final document produced at the Extraordinary Synod will be supplemented by a short questionnaire given that the family is a vast subject and there are other issues regarding it that have not been touched yet.” As such, no decisions will be taken at the end of the Extraordinary Synod, which ends on 19 October.“We are all aware that fraternal communion grows when there is freedom. This allows for a richer debate and facilitates pastoral choices that are more relevant to today’s families. It is crucial for us to express ourselves in a clear and courageous manner,” Baldisseri stressed. “The quality of human being comes to light when they make their opinions heard, giving them responsibility before God and other people. Participants will engage in a peaceful and honest debate. They are called not to force their own opinions alone, but to try to search for the truth together.” The Pope, who will be “present throughout the discussions, wants to open a door that has so far remained shut,” Baldisseri said. “We are at the start of the Synod and the Holy Father has encouraged participants to speak freely,” the cardinal said in response to a question put to him by the press, about whether it was likely Church would allow communion for remarried divorcees in two weeks’ time. “Conclusions will be made at the end of the Synod. I am aware that people have a lot of expectations but they will have to wait,” the cardinal added. The interviews and books the cardinals have published on this subject are just “contributions”, the Synod’s Secretary said.Regarding the coverage of the event, Baldisseri and the Vatican’s spokesman, Fr. Federico Lombardi, said that updates on what is said during press conferences and briefings will be posted on twitter and there will be a website especially dedicated to the meeting.” A part from the daily bulletin texts, audio and video interviews with the Synod Fathers will also be made available,” Fr. Lombardi said. The first week’s briefings will focus on the addresses made in the meeting room, while the second week’s briefings will concentrate on the work done in the smaller groups. During the second week, meetings will be help with Synod Fathers who “will respond to journalists’ questions, together, in different languages or they will be split into language groups.” As far as the single briefings are concerned, Fr. Lombardi informed that each of these will be “along and detailed summary of all the addresses given in the morning and afternoon sessions, both prepared and spontaneous speeches.” However, the Vatican will not be publishing all the speeches because these are very long and the aim this year – compared to previous years – is to make the whole process simpler. “All the names of those who spoke and the issues covered” will be mentioned in the Bulletin. It will not, however, specify who spoke about each single topic. “During the meetings, the Synod Fathers will be able to alter the content of their prepared speeches which were handed out in previous Synods,” Cardinal Baldisseri said, answering journalists’ questions regarding the need for a greater transparency in communication.
10/ 5/2014 - VATICAN INSIDER-Francis: “Please don’t forget to pray for the Synod”-The prayer vigil ahead of the Synod on the Family-At today’s Angelus, Francis praised the initiative of the Pauline brothers who distributed a new edition of the Bible in St. Peter’s Square this morning. Speaking about the Synod, he said: “bishops have been called to take care and promote the family”-Domenico Agasso jr
Rome-It was a “happy coincidence” that the Bible should be handed out for free on the very same day the Church began its reflection on the family. “For the family to be able to proceed well, with trust and with hope it must be nurtured by the Word of God,” Francis said. At today’s Angelus in St. Peter’s Square Pope Francis praised the fact that “today, as the Synod for the Family opens, with the help of the Pauline brothers there is a Bible for every family!” The Bibles were handed out to mark the Pauline centenary celebrations. The Pauline Family was founded by “the great apostle of communication”, Giacomo Alberione. “We thank our Pauline brothers,” the Pope said speaking off-the-cuff.“But father, we have two, we have three,” Francis said in another off-the-cuff remark. “But where have you hid them?” The Pope urged faithful not to just “put the Bible on a shelf, but to keep it on hand, dip into it often, both individually and together, husband and wife, parents and children, perhaps in the evening, especially on Sundays. In this way the family will grow and walk in the light and the strength of God’s Word!” The Pope held a copy of this Bible up, saying: “This is the Bible the Pauline brothers will give you. One for every family. “Now don’t try to be clever,” the Pope joked, “Only help yourselves to one, using one hand, not both; just one hand and take it home with you.”“This morning we marked the start of the Extraordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops by concelebrating mass in St. Peter’s Basilica,” Francis announced.” The Synod Fathers, who have come from all corners of the world and myself will be spending two intense weeks, listening and discussing, with the help of prayer. The subject of the discussions is “Pastoral Challenges to the Family in the Context of Evangelization”. “Today, the Word of God presents the image of the vineyard as a symbol of the people whom the Lord has chosen,” Francis continued. “Like a vineyard, the people need to be cared for, they need patient and faithful love. This is what God gives us and this is what we as pastors are called to give. Looking after the family is also a way of working in the Lord’s vineyard so that it produces the fruits of God’s Kingdom.”Before the recitation of the Angelus prayer, Francis asked faithful gathered in St. Peter’s Square to “connect spiritually with those at the Shrine of Pompeii, who elevate the traditional "Supplication" Our Lady of the Rosary. May she bring peace, to families and the whole world!" “May this bring peace to families and the entire world.”At the end of the Angelus, the Pope recalled that “today Italy celebrates the elimination of architectural barriers”: “I encourage those who work to guarantee equal opportunities for all, regardless of the physical challenges of an individual. I hope that institutions and individual citizens will begin to focus more and more on this important social goal.”Poi ha ricordato che «ieri negli Stati Uniti è stata proclamata beata Suor Maria Teresa Demjanovich, delle Suore della carità di Santa Elisabetta»: «Rendiamo grazie a Dio per questa fedele discepola di Cristo, che condusse un'intensa vita spirituale», ha affermato.The Pope recalled that: “Sister Maria Teresa Demjanovich of the Sisters of Charity of St. Elizabeth was beatified yesterday in the United States”: “We give thanks to God for this faithful disciple of Christ who led an intense spiritual life,” he said.Before the joyful final greetings, Francis repeated his appeal: “Please do not forget to pray for the Synod; pray to Mary, that she may protect the Synodal assembly.” Just before today’s opening mass, Francis tweeted: “As we begin the Synod on the Family, let us ask the Lord to show us the way forward.”“Have a good Sunday and enjoy your lunch,” the Pope concluded.
10/ 5/2014 - VATICAN INSIDER-Francis at the Synod: “Greed prevents God from making his dream come true”-The Pope at the opening mass for the Synod ont he Family-At the opening mass for the Extraordinary Synod on the Family, Francis invited participants on a mission “to work together on the loving plan God has for his people”-GIACOMO GALEAZZI
vatican city-Francis advises humility and creativity when it comes to family pastoral care. “Synod Assemblies are not meant to discuss beautiful and clever ideas, or to see who is more intelligent... They are meant to better nurture and tend the Lord's vineyard, to help realize his dream, his loving plan for his people. Francis entered St. Peter’s Basilica in procession, to preside the opening mass for the opening mass, which marked the start of the third Extraordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops on the theme: "The pastoral challenge of the family in the context of evangelization”. The Pope, clad in green vestments, concelebrated the mass with 230 Synod members: cardinals, patriarchs, archbishops, bishops and priests. Francis called the Synod Fathers to carry out their mission: "We, too, in the Synod of Bishops,” Francis said, “are called to work for the Lord's vineyard. Synod Assemblies are not meant to discuss beautiful and clever ideas, or to see who is more intelligent... They are meant to better nurture and tend the Lord's vineyard, to help realize his dream, his loving plan for his people. In this case the Lord is asking us to care for the family, which has been from the beginning an integral part of his loving plan for humanity.”So, the Pope continued: "we too can be tempted to "take over" the vineyard, because of that greed which is always present in us human beings.” “God's dream always clashes with the hypocrisy of some of his servants. We can "thwart" God's dream if we fail to let ourselves be guided by the Holy Spirit.” “The Spirit gives us that wisdom which surpasses knowledge, and enables us to work generously with authentic freedom and humble creativity.” "My brothers, - he concluded - to do a good job of nurturing and tending the vineyard, our hearts and our minds must be kept in Jesus Christ, as Saint Paul says, by "the peace of God which passes all understanding", Francis stressed quoting St. Paul. “In this way our thoughts and plans will correspond to God's dream: to form a holy people who are his own and produce the fruits of the kingdom of God,” the Pope highlighted.There were also 13 married couples present at today’s event (one of the couples was a Catholic woman and a Muslim man) who are participating as “auditores”. Another couple are participating as experts, not as “auditores” but simply as the “special secretary’s collaborators”. The special secretary is Archbishop Bruno Forte and the expert couple in question is the former President of Azione Cattolica (Catholic Action), Franco Miano and his wife, Giuseppina De Simone. Both of them are professors of Moral Philosophy at the University of Tor Vergata and the Theological Faculty of Southern Italy in Naples, respectively.This is the first time that a great majority of the lay participants attending the Synod are married couples. It is also an important first given the matter in hand.During the opening mass for the Synod of Bishops, Pope Francis illustrated his message with the image of the “Lord’s vineyard”. This image was famously used at the start of Joseph Ratzinger’s pontificate, when the newly elected Benedict XVI, speaking from the central loggia of St. Peter’s Basilica, referred to himself as a “humble worker”. “In the Gospel, it is the farmers themselves who ruin the Lord’s plan: they fail to do their job but think only of their own interests,” Francis reminded in his homily. “In Jesus’ parable, he is addressing the chief priests and the elders of the people, in other words the "experts", the managers. To them in a particular way God entrusted his "dream", his people, for them to nurture, tend and protect from the animals of the field. This is the job of leaders: to nurture the vineyard with freedom, creativity and hard work. But Jesus tells us that those farmers took over the vineyard. Out of greed and pride they want to do with it as they will, and so they prevent God from realizing his dream for the people he has chosen.”According to Francis, “the temptation to greed is ever present.” “Greed for money and power. And to satisfy this greed, evil pastors lay intolerable burdens on the shoulders of others, which they themselves do not lift a finger to move.” “The Lord asks us to care for the family” and urged the Synod’s Fathers “to work generously with authentic freedom and humble creativity.” After commenting on how the prophet Isaiah and the Gospel employ the image of the Lord’s vineyard, the Pope emphasized that “we too, in the Synod of Bishops, are called to work for the Lord’s vineyard.”

Role of commission vice-presidents unclear after week of hearings-03.10.14 @ 18:26-By Honor Mahony
BRUSSELS - After the first week of EU commissioner auditions, 21 of the 27 have been grilled by MEPs, leaving five struggling - but how the new college will really function is only set to be revealed next week.Packing in five three-hour-long hearings a day, the European Parliament put the team of commission president Jean-Claude Juncker through its paces, probing for weak policy knowledge and sounding out European commitment.Most of the commissioners made it through, including those with some major portfolios, such as Cecilia Malmstrom (trade), Margrethe Verstager (competition) and Elzbieta Bienkowska (internal market).But five have still not being given the green-light amid political wrangling between the two biggest groups in the European Parliament.Spain's Miguel Canete (energy and climate) is having his financial declaration scrutinised further; the UK's Jonathan Hill will go through another hearing to flesh out the answers he gave on financial services; while the commissioners from Hungary, the Czech Republic, and France have all been given extra written questions.Of the entire week, Canete and Frenchman Pierre Moscovici's (economc affairs) hearings were the rowdiest.The Spaniard was repeatedly asked by left-wing deputies about family ties to oil companies, while the French politician was asked over and again about his country's failure to fall into line with EU budget rules.The centre-right EPP has indicated that if Canete is toppled then its members will seek to get the centre-left Moscovici ditched leaving a political stand-off between the two sides.By contrast several of the would-be commissioners sailed relatively easily through their hearings, including Denmark's Vestager, Belgium's Marianne Thyssen (employment) and farm commissioner Phil Hogan (Ireland).But while the hearings threw up some interesting personal details (Moscovici's Polish-Romanian heritage, Malmstrom's student-exchange past, Vestager's love of chocolate, Lord Hill's fondness for author Joseph Conrad, and the Czech Vera Jourova's jail time), they did little to illuminate how the new two-tier commission envisaged by Juncker will work.Under the proposed system, the seven vice-presidents in the team have more powers than their colleagues, having the final say on any laws that should be proposed by the EU.They are in charge of thematic areas, so that Finland's Jyrki Katainen, in charge of jobs and growth, will be overseeing Moscovici, on economic affairs. The Frenchman will also have someone else looking over his shoulder in the shape of Latvia's Valdis Dombrovskis, vice-president for the euro.
'Super-commissioners'
But while Juncker has indicated he sees commissioners as subordinate to vice-presidents, the 'ordinary' commissioners are less inclined to think this way."There is no 'super-commissioner', no 'second tier' of commissioners. We are all equal, a team formed to pull in the same direction," said Moscovici during his hearing.Employment commissioner Marianne Thyssen also said the commissioners will work as a "team" and none will have a veto.Even Kristalina Georgieva, who will be a vice-president in charge of the EU budget, was not very clear on the hierarchy during her hearing. Asked on how it should function, she said: "We are to respect each other's mandates".Next week, beginning Monday, the remaining six vice-presidents will have their turn before MEPs.Deputies are expected to focus on teasing out how the system will work in practice. Of particular interest will be the hearing of Frans Timmermans, who is 'first' vice president (in charge of institutional relations and cutting red tape) and is supposed to Juncker's right-hand man.Timmermans will, in an unprecedented move, face all the political groups on Tuesday, the last official day of the hearings, as his roaming role touches all departments in the commission.While the details remain unclear, the UK's Lord Hill gave one of the most pragmatic answers on how it is likely to function."A lot will depend on the personal relations that exist between people", he said.
Moscovici to answer in writing on commitment to fiscal rules-03.10.14 @ 18:37-EUOBSERVER-By Valentina Pop
BRUSSELS - France's Pierre Moscovici is to answer in writing about how he will make sure countries, including his own, will implement the EU's deficit-and-debt rules.MEPs in the economics committee were working on nine supplementary questions on Friday (3 October), after a stormy hearing with Moscovici the previous day.The draft questions, seen by EUobserver, revolve around his commitment to the Stability and Growth Pact which sets a three-percent threshold for the public deficit and a 60 percent of GDP limit on public debt. Most EU countries are well beyond both thresholds.But France is of particular concern, as it has asked for extension after extension to meet the deficit target, the latest being just on the eve of Moscovici's hearing.As they did in the hearing, MEPs press Moscovici again on his perceived failure to comply with these rules during his time as a finance minister in France in the past two years.With France constantly pushing for "flexibility" in applying the Stability and Growth Pact when a country is in distress, MEPs ask him to "clarify the concept of flexibility in the Stability and Growth Pact and its different forms of possible application."They also want to know his interpretation of what "exceptional circumstances" and "severe economic downturn" mean when applying this flexibility.They refer to France, indirectly, and its poor track record in sticking to deadlines."What action should apply to member states whose budget deficit is constantly above 3% of GDP and which have already been granted an extension of the deadline to bringing down the deficit to Maastricht levels? Under which circumstances would you argue for granting more time or for applying sanctions?"Italy, at a whopping 132 percent of GDP in public debt, is also alluded to."What action will you apply to a member state whose public debt is constantly above 60% of GDP and increasing? Under what circumstances would you not recommend to apply sanctions?"Meanwhile, MEPs want to know how Moscovici will make governments implement the commission's economic policy recommendations, given that most of them are ignored even though they are legally binding."How do you think your concrete professional experience can help in changing this trend? What concrete measures will you undertake to increase the implementation rate of country specific recommendations by member states?"After having stated that some of the rules for economic policy co-ordination, known as "six-pack need" simplification, Moscovici is asked to say exactly which rules he meant and how he plans to change them."Could you put such a legislative initiative to the college [of commissioners] or would you need approval or a positive recommendation by the vice-president in charge of the Euro and Social Dialogue [Valdis Dombrovskis]?"MEPs also want to know about plans for the eurozone to have a "single external representation" in international bodies, as mentioned in the EU treaty, and what contingencies there are in case the eurzone slips into deflation.Lastly, they ask Moscovici what his "concrete actions" will be in support of the all-but-dead financial transaction tax and what he plans to do in order to implement a common corporate tax base throughout the EU.The common tax base is designed to limit tax dumping of the sort Apple is doing in Ireland.

Sierra Leone records 121 Ebola deaths in a single day-Reuters-SEPT 5,14-YAHOONEWS
FREETOWN (Reuters) - Sierra Leone recorded 121 deaths from Ebola and scores of new infections in one of the single deadliest days since the disease appeared in the West African country more than four months ago, government health statistics showed on Sunday.The figures, which covered the period through Saturday, put the total number of deaths at 678, up from 557 the day before. The daily statistics compiled by Sierra Leone's Emergency Operations Centre also showed 81 new cases of the hemorrhagic fever.Ebola was first reported in Guinea in March and has since spread to neighboring Liberia and Sierra Leone in what has become the worst epidemic of the disease since Ebola was identified in 1976.Smaller outbreaks in Nigeria and Senegal were brought under control. The United States last week confirmed its first Ebola case, a Liberian national who had traveled to Texas.The overall death toll from the epidemic reached 3,439 out of a total of 7,492 cases in West Africa and the United States as of Oct. 1, the World Health Organization said last week. The U.N. agency's statistics varied from those compiled by Sierra Leone.After an initial slow response, international assistance and supplies are now pouring into West Africa.The United States is deploying around 4,000 military personnel to the region to support efforts to combat the outbreak in Liberia, the country worst hit by the disease.Britain and China have sent personnel to Sierra Leone. Cuba dispatched a 165-member medical team, including specialists and nurses, to Sierra Leone last week.The country's deputy health and sanitation minister Madina Rahman said on Saturday that the Cuban team's mission would last at least six months.She said the team would be deployed to areas across Sierra Leone.(Reporting by Umaru Fofana; Writing by Joe Bavier; Editing by Jonathan Oatis)
Ebola patient in Dallas 'fighting for his life' says CDC head-Reuters-SEPT 5,14-YAHOONEWS
DALLAS (Reuters) - The first person to develop Ebola in the United States was struggling to survive at a Dallas hospital on Sunday after his condition worsened to critical, the director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control said.Thomas Eric Duncan became ill after arriving in Dallas from Liberia two weeks ago - heightening concerns that the worst Ebola epidemic on record could spread from West Africa, where it began in March and has killed more than 3,400 people."The man in Dallas, who is fighting for his life, is the only patient to develop Ebola in the United States," CDC Director Dr. Thomas Frieden said on CNN's "State of the Union."Duncan's case has highlighted problems that American public health officials are trying furiously to address: The Dallas hospital that admitted him initially did not recognize the deadly disease and sent him home, only for him to return two days later in an ambulance."The issue of the missed diagnosis initially is concerning," Frieden said, adding that public health officials had redoubled their efforts to raise awareness of the disease."We're seeing more people calling us, considering the possibility of Ebola - that's what we want to see," he said on CNN. "We don't want people not to be diagnosed."Frieden said he was confident the disease would not spread widely within the United States. U.S. officials are also scaling up their response in West Africa, where Ebola presents an enormous challenge, he added."But it's going to take time," Frieden said. "The virus is spreading so fast that it's hard to keep up."In Dallas, a spokesman for Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, Wendell Watson, said Duncan remained critical on Sunday. He would not elaborate.In Nebraska, another hospital is preparing for the arrival of an Ebola patient who contracted the disease in Liberia, a spokesman said on Sunday. Nebraska Medical Center spokesman Taylor Wilson would only identify the patient as a male U.S. citizen expected to arrive on Monday.Fox TV in Boston identified the Nebraska patient as Ashoka Mukpo, a freelance NBC cameraman working for NBC who contracted Ebola in Liberia. It said he was expected back in the United States on Sunday.The Nebraska hospital last month also treated, and released, Dr. Rick Sacra, an American missionary who also contracted Ebola in Liberia. Sacra was admitted to a Massachusetts hospital on Saturday for a likely respiratory infection that is not believed to be a recurrence of the disease, hospital officials there said.The CDC has identified 10 people who had direct contact with Duncan as being at greatest risk of infection. Another 40 were being monitored as potential contacts, out of a group of 114 people initially evaluated for exposure risks, though none from either group has shown symptoms, Frieden said.Ebola, which can cause fever, vomiting and diarrhea, spreads through contact with bodily fluids such as blood or saliva.

NATO can put troops wherever it wants, new secretary-general says-Reuters-SEPT 5,14-YAHOONEWS
WARSAW (Reuters) - New NATO secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg said on Sunday that the Western alliance could deploy its forces wherever it wants, apparently calling into question post-Cold War agreements that have been shaken by Russia's actions in Crimea and Ukraine.Stoltenberg was visiting NATO member Poland to reassure it that NATO would provide the protection it sought against its former communist master, Russia, which in recent months has annexed the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine, and been accused by the West of sending troops and equipment to back pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine.At a summit a month ago, NATO leaders agreed to set up a "spearhead" rapid reaction force that could be sent to a hotspot within days, and to pre-position equipment and supplies in eastern European countries to receive the force if needed.But they rejected appeals from NATO members in Eastern Europe, including Poland, to station thousands of troops there permanently -- partly because of the expense, and partly because they did not want to break a 1997 pact under which NATO promised Russia it would not permanently station significant combat forces in the east.Stoltenberg appeared to take a tougher line in Poland, however."Next year, at the ministerial meeting, we will take decisions regarding the so-called spearhead but, even before it is established, NATO has a strong army after all. We can deploy it wherever we want to," Stoltenberg told the state broadcaster TVP Info."These capabilities already exist. We have them, and we can deploy them in individual regions. And this is only an add-on to what the alliance already has."Stoltenberg, a former Norwegian prime minister, took over on Wednesday as NATO secretary-general, at a time when the alliance is wrapping up its combat mission in Afghanistan but faces new challenges from a resurgent Russia to the east and from Islamic State militants on the borders of Turkey, NATO's southernmost member.NATO has made clear it will not intervene militarily in Ukraine, which is not an alliance member, but has reinforced the defenses of its eastern member states. Russia has repeatedly denied sending forces or equipment to the rebels in eastern Ukraine.(Reporting by Anna Wlodarczak-Semczuk; Writing by Marcin Goclowski; Editing by Kevin Liffey)

1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication,(VATICAN IN POLITICS) and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 And the woman (FALSE CHURCH) was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour,(VATICAN COLOURS)(ANOTHER REASON WE KNOW THE FALSE POPE COMES FROM THE VATICAN) and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.(THE VATICAN IS BUILT ON 7 HILLS OR MOUNTAINS)
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.(VATICAN-CATHOLICS ALL AROUND THE WORLD OVER 1 BILLION)
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast,(WORLD DICTATOR) these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.(BOMB OR NUKE THE VATICAN)
17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city,(VATICAN) which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
10/ 3/2014 - VATICAN INSIDER-Synod on Family to end with a text voted on by the Fathers-A Synod of Bishops-The “Relatio Synodi” will be sent to the Pope and to bishops across the world, along with an attached questionnaire, ahead of next year’s Ordinary Synod-Iacopo Scaramuzzi
vatican city-The Extraordinary Synod on the Family which opens next Monday (5-19 October) will end with a “concluding document”, a Relatio Synodi which will be voted on by the Synod Fathers. The document will be sent to the Pope and to Bishops’ Conferences across the world, along with a “short questionnaire”. It is being sent ahead of next year’s Ordinary Synod. The news was announced today by the Synod Secretary, Cardinal Lorenzo Baldisseri, at a press conference in the Vatican. The Tuscan cardinal said he hoped the Synod discussions would be “free”, “peaceful” and “honest”.“The “Relatio Post Disceptationem” produced at the end of the first week will form the basis for the work that will follow in the second week in the “circuli minores” and which the Synod Fathers will examine before the concluding “Relatio Synodi” document is published. This final document will be sent to the Holy Father,” the Tuscan cardinal said. The “Relatio Synodi” differs from the concluding messages usually published at the end of every synodal assembly (this time Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi has been asked to write the message). It replaces the proposals (“propositiones”) the Synod Fathers usually sent the Pope during these assemblies. “There will be no “propositiones”. The document will be published as one single “propositio”,” Baldisseri explained to journalists. Participants will vote on the text on Saturday 18 October in the afternoon. The vote will be a simple “yes” (“placet”) or “no” (“non placet”) vote, Cardinal Baldisseri explained. Even the reports which single work groups (“circoli minores”) will present at the plenary session will be voted on first. The document “will be published at a suitable moment, one or two days after” the vote. The work of the second assembly – the Ordinary Synod on the Family, scheduled for 2015 – will be based on this document. It will be “sent to Bishops’ Conferences” around the world, so that they can formulate a response and examine the content of the working document. The final document produced at the Extraordinary Synod will be supplemented by a short questionnaire given that the family is a vast subject and there are other issues regarding it that have not been touched yet.” As such, no decisions will be taken at the end of the Extraordinary Synod, which ends on 19 October.“We are all aware that fraternal communion grows when there is freedom. This allows for a richer debate and facilitates pastoral choices that are more relevant to today’s families. It is crucial for us to express ourselves in a clear and courageous manner,” Baldisseri stressed. “The quality of human being comes to light when they make their opinions heard, giving them responsibility before God and other people. Participants will engage in a peaceful and honest debate. They are called not to force their own opinions alone, but to try to search for the truth together.” The Pope, who will be “present throughout the discussions, wants to open a door that has so far remained shut,” Baldisseri said. “We are at the start of the Synod and the Holy Father has encouraged participants to speak freely,” the cardinal said in response to a question put to him by the press, about whether it was likely Church would allow communion for remarried divorcees in two weeks’ time. “Conclusions will be made at the end of the Synod. I am aware that people have a lot of expectations but they will have to wait,” the cardinal added. The interviews and books the cardinals have published on this subject are just “contributions”, the Synod’s Secretary said.Regarding the coverage of the event, Baldisseri and the Vatican’s spokesman, Fr. Federico Lombardi, said that updates on what is said during press conferences and briefings will be posted on twitter and there will be a website especially dedicated to the meeting.” A part from the daily bulletin texts, audio and video interviews with the Synod Fathers will also be made available,” Fr. Lombardi said. The first week’s briefings will focus on the addresses made in the meeting room, while the second week’s briefings will concentrate on the work done in the smaller groups. During the second week, meetings will be help with Synod Fathers who “will respond to journalists’ questions, together, in different languages or they will be split into language groups.” As far as the single briefings are concerned, Fr. Lombardi informed that each of these will be “along and detailed summary of all the addresses given in the morning and afternoon sessions, both prepared and spontaneous speeches.” However, the Vatican will not be publishing all the speeches because these are very long and the aim this year – compared to previous years – is to make the whole process simpler. “All the names of those who spoke and the issues covered” will be mentioned in the Bulletin. It will not, however, specify who spoke about each single topic. “During the meetings, the Synod Fathers will be able to alter the content of their prepared speeches which were handed out in previous Synods,” Cardinal Baldisseri said, answering journalists’ questions regarding the need for a greater transparency in communication.
10/ 5/2014 - VATICAN INSIDER-Francis: “Please don’t forget to pray for the Synod”-The prayer vigil ahead of the Synod on the Family-At today’s Angelus, Francis praised the initiative of the Pauline brothers who distributed a new edition of the Bible in St. Peter’s Square this morning. Speaking about the Synod, he said: “bishops have been called to take care and promote the family”-Domenico Agasso jr
Rome-It was a “happy coincidence” that the Bible should be handed out for free on the very same day the Church began its reflection on the family. “For the family to be able to proceed well, with trust and with hope it must be nurtured by the Word of God,” Francis said. At today’s Angelus in St. Peter’s Square Pope Francis praised the fact that “today, as the Synod for the Family opens, with the help of the Pauline brothers there is a Bible for every family!” The Bibles were handed out to mark the Pauline centenary celebrations. The Pauline Family was founded by “the great apostle of communication”, Giacomo Alberione. “We thank our Pauline brothers,” the Pope said speaking off-the-cuff.“But father, we have two, we have three,” Francis said in another off-the-cuff remark. “But where have you hid them?” The Pope urged faithful not to just “put the Bible on a shelf, but to keep it on hand, dip into it often, both individually and together, husband and wife, parents and children, perhaps in the evening, especially on Sundays. In this way the family will grow and walk in the light and the strength of God’s Word!” The Pope held a copy of this Bible up, saying: “This is the Bible the Pauline brothers will give you. One for every family. “Now don’t try to be clever,” the Pope joked, “Only help yourselves to one, using one hand, not both; just one hand and take it home with you.”“This morning we marked the start of the Extraordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops by concelebrating mass in St. Peter’s Basilica,” Francis announced.” The Synod Fathers, who have come from all corners of the world and myself will be spending two intense weeks, listening and discussing, with the help of prayer. The subject of the discussions is “Pastoral Challenges to the Family in the Context of Evangelization”. “Today, the Word of God presents the image of the vineyard as a symbol of the people whom the Lord has chosen,” Francis continued. “Like a vineyard, the people need to be cared for, they need patient and faithful love. This is what God gives us and this is what we as pastors are called to give. Looking after the family is also a way of working in the Lord’s vineyard so that it produces the fruits of God’s Kingdom.”Before the recitation of the Angelus prayer, Francis asked faithful gathered in St. Peter’s Square to “connect spiritually with those at the Shrine of Pompeii, who elevate the traditional "Supplication" Our Lady of the Rosary. May she bring peace, to families and the whole world!" “May this bring peace to families and the entire world.”At the end of the Angelus, the Pope recalled that “today Italy celebrates the elimination of architectural barriers”: “I encourage those who work to guarantee equal opportunities for all, regardless of the physical challenges of an individual. I hope that institutions and individual citizens will begin to focus more and more on this important social goal.”Poi ha ricordato che «ieri negli Stati Uniti è stata proclamata beata Suor Maria Teresa Demjanovich, delle Suore della carità di Santa Elisabetta»: «Rendiamo grazie a Dio per questa fedele discepola di Cristo, che condusse un'intensa vita spirituale», ha affermato.The Pope recalled that: “Sister Maria Teresa Demjanovich of the Sisters of Charity of St. Elizabeth was beatified yesterday in the United States”: “We give thanks to God for this faithful disciple of Christ who led an intense spiritual life,” he said.Before the joyful final greetings, Francis repeated his appeal: “Please do not forget to pray for the Synod; pray to Mary, that she may protect the Synodal assembly.” Just before today’s opening mass, Francis tweeted: “As we begin the Synod on the Family, let us ask the Lord to show us the way forward.”“Have a good Sunday and enjoy your lunch,” the Pope concluded.
10/ 5/2014 - VATICAN INSIDER-Francis at the Synod: “Greed prevents God from making his dream come true”-The Pope at the opening mass for the Synod ont he Family-At the opening mass for the Extraordinary Synod on the Family, Francis invited participants on a mission “to work together on the loving plan God has for his people”-GIACOMO GALEAZZI
vatican city-Francis advises humility and creativity when it comes to family pastoral care. “Synod Assemblies are not meant to discuss beautiful and clever ideas, or to see who is more intelligent... They are meant to better nurture and tend the Lord's vineyard, to help realize his dream, his loving plan for his people. Francis entered St. Peter’s Basilica in procession, to preside the opening mass for the opening mass, which marked the start of the third Extraordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops on the theme: "The pastoral challenge of the family in the context of evangelization”. The Pope, clad in green vestments, concelebrated the mass with 230 Synod members: cardinals, patriarchs, archbishops, bishops and priests. Francis called the Synod Fathers to carry out their mission: "We, too, in the Synod of Bishops,” Francis said, “are called to work for the Lord's vineyard. Synod Assemblies are not meant to discuss beautiful and clever ideas, or to see who is more intelligent... They are meant to better nurture and tend the Lord's vineyard, to help realize his dream, his loving plan for his people. In this case the Lord is asking us to care for the family, which has been from the beginning an integral part of his loving plan for humanity.”So, the Pope continued: "we too can be tempted to "take over" the vineyard, because of that greed which is always present in us human beings.” “God's dream always clashes with the hypocrisy of some of his servants. We can "thwart" God's dream if we fail to let ourselves be guided by the Holy Spirit.” “The Spirit gives us that wisdom which surpasses knowledge, and enables us to work generously with authentic freedom and humble creativity.” "My brothers, - he concluded - to do a good job of nurturing and tending the vineyard, our hearts and our minds must be kept in Jesus Christ, as Saint Paul says, by "the peace of God which passes all understanding", Francis stressed quoting St. Paul. “In this way our thoughts and plans will correspond to God's dream: to form a holy people who are his own and produce the fruits of the kingdom of God,” the Pope highlighted.There were also 13 married couples present at today’s event (one of the couples was a Catholic woman and a Muslim man) who are participating as “auditores”. Another couple are participating as experts, not as “auditores” but simply as the “special secretary’s collaborators”. The special secretary is Archbishop Bruno Forte and the expert couple in question is the former President of Azione Cattolica (Catholic Action), Franco Miano and his wife, Giuseppina De Simone. Both of them are professors of Moral Philosophy at the University of Tor Vergata and the Theological Faculty of Southern Italy in Naples, respectively.This is the first time that a great majority of the lay participants attending the Synod are married couples. It is also an important first given the matter in hand.During the opening mass for the Synod of Bishops, Pope Francis illustrated his message with the image of the “Lord’s vineyard”. This image was famously used at the start of Joseph Ratzinger’s pontificate, when the newly elected Benedict XVI, speaking from the central loggia of St. Peter’s Basilica, referred to himself as a “humble worker”. “In the Gospel, it is the farmers themselves who ruin the Lord’s plan: they fail to do their job but think only of their own interests,” Francis reminded in his homily. “In Jesus’ parable, he is addressing the chief priests and the elders of the people, in other words the "experts", the managers. To them in a particular way God entrusted his "dream", his people, for them to nurture, tend and protect from the animals of the field. This is the job of leaders: to nurture the vineyard with freedom, creativity and hard work. But Jesus tells us that those farmers took over the vineyard. Out of greed and pride they want to do with it as they will, and so they prevent God from realizing his dream for the people he has chosen.”According to Francis, “the temptation to greed is ever present.” “Greed for money and power. And to satisfy this greed, evil pastors lay intolerable burdens on the shoulders of others, which they themselves do not lift a finger to move.” “The Lord asks us to care for the family” and urged the Synod’s Fathers “to work generously with authentic freedom and humble creativity.” After commenting on how the prophet Isaiah and the Gospel employ the image of the Lord’s vineyard, the Pope emphasized that “we too, in the Synod of Bishops, are called to work for the Lord’s vineyard.”

Role of commission vice-presidents unclear after week of hearings-03.10.14 @ 18:26-By Honor Mahony
BRUSSELS - After the first week of EU commissioner auditions, 21 of the 27 have been grilled by MEPs, leaving five struggling - but how the new college will really function is only set to be revealed next week.Packing in five three-hour-long hearings a day, the European Parliament put the team of commission president Jean-Claude Juncker through its paces, probing for weak policy knowledge and sounding out European commitment.Most of the commissioners made it through, including those with some major portfolios, such as Cecilia Malmstrom (trade), Margrethe Verstager (competition) and Elzbieta Bienkowska (internal market).But five have still not being given the green-light amid political wrangling between the two biggest groups in the European Parliament.Spain's Miguel Canete (energy and climate) is having his financial declaration scrutinised further; the UK's Jonathan Hill will go through another hearing to flesh out the answers he gave on financial services; while the commissioners from Hungary, the Czech Republic, and France have all been given extra written questions.Of the entire week, Canete and Frenchman Pierre Moscovici's (economc affairs) hearings were the rowdiest.The Spaniard was repeatedly asked by left-wing deputies about family ties to oil companies, while the French politician was asked over and again about his country's failure to fall into line with EU budget rules.The centre-right EPP has indicated that if Canete is toppled then its members will seek to get the centre-left Moscovici ditched leaving a political stand-off between the two sides.By contrast several of the would-be commissioners sailed relatively easily through their hearings, including Denmark's Vestager, Belgium's Marianne Thyssen (employment) and farm commissioner Phil Hogan (Ireland).But while the hearings threw up some interesting personal details (Moscovici's Polish-Romanian heritage, Malmstrom's student-exchange past, Vestager's love of chocolate, Lord Hill's fondness for author Joseph Conrad, and the Czech Vera Jourova's jail time), they did little to illuminate how the new two-tier commission envisaged by Juncker will work.Under the proposed system, the seven vice-presidents in the team have more powers than their colleagues, having the final say on any laws that should be proposed by the EU.They are in charge of thematic areas, so that Finland's Jyrki Katainen, in charge of jobs and growth, will be overseeing Moscovici, on economic affairs. The Frenchman will also have someone else looking over his shoulder in the shape of Latvia's Valdis Dombrovskis, vice-president for the euro.
'Super-commissioners'
But while Juncker has indicated he sees commissioners as subordinate to vice-presidents, the 'ordinary' commissioners are less inclined to think this way."There is no 'super-commissioner', no 'second tier' of commissioners. We are all equal, a team formed to pull in the same direction," said Moscovici during his hearing.Employment commissioner Marianne Thyssen also said the commissioners will work as a "team" and none will have a veto.Even Kristalina Georgieva, who will be a vice-president in charge of the EU budget, was not very clear on the hierarchy during her hearing. Asked on how it should function, she said: "We are to respect each other's mandates".Next week, beginning Monday, the remaining six vice-presidents will have their turn before MEPs.Deputies are expected to focus on teasing out how the system will work in practice. Of particular interest will be the hearing of Frans Timmermans, who is 'first' vice president (in charge of institutional relations and cutting red tape) and is supposed to Juncker's right-hand man.Timmermans will, in an unprecedented move, face all the political groups on Tuesday, the last official day of the hearings, as his roaming role touches all departments in the commission.While the details remain unclear, the UK's Lord Hill gave one of the most pragmatic answers on how it is likely to function."A lot will depend on the personal relations that exist between people", he said.
Moscovici to answer in writing on commitment to fiscal rules-03.10.14 @ 18:37-EUOBSERVER-By Valentina Pop
BRUSSELS - France's Pierre Moscovici is to answer in writing about how he will make sure countries, including his own, will implement the EU's deficit-and-debt rules.MEPs in the economics committee were working on nine supplementary questions on Friday (3 October), after a stormy hearing with Moscovici the previous day.The draft questions, seen by EUobserver, revolve around his commitment to the Stability and Growth Pact which sets a three-percent threshold for the public deficit and a 60 percent of GDP limit on public debt. Most EU countries are well beyond both thresholds.But France is of particular concern, as it has asked for extension after extension to meet the deficit target, the latest being just on the eve of Moscovici's hearing.As they did in the hearing, MEPs press Moscovici again on his perceived failure to comply with these rules during his time as a finance minister in France in the past two years.With France constantly pushing for "flexibility" in applying the Stability and Growth Pact when a country is in distress, MEPs ask him to "clarify the concept of flexibility in the Stability and Growth Pact and its different forms of possible application."They also want to know his interpretation of what "exceptional circumstances" and "severe economic downturn" mean when applying this flexibility.They refer to France, indirectly, and its poor track record in sticking to deadlines."What action should apply to member states whose budget deficit is constantly above 3% of GDP and which have already been granted an extension of the deadline to bringing down the deficit to Maastricht levels? Under which circumstances would you argue for granting more time or for applying sanctions?"Italy, at a whopping 132 percent of GDP in public debt, is also alluded to."What action will you apply to a member state whose public debt is constantly above 60% of GDP and increasing? Under what circumstances would you not recommend to apply sanctions?"Meanwhile, MEPs want to know how Moscovici will make governments implement the commission's economic policy recommendations, given that most of them are ignored even though they are legally binding."How do you think your concrete professional experience can help in changing this trend? What concrete measures will you undertake to increase the implementation rate of country specific recommendations by member states?"After having stated that some of the rules for economic policy co-ordination, known as "six-pack need" simplification, Moscovici is asked to say exactly which rules he meant and how he plans to change them."Could you put such a legislative initiative to the college [of commissioners] or would you need approval or a positive recommendation by the vice-president in charge of the Euro and Social Dialogue [Valdis Dombrovskis]?"MEPs also want to know about plans for the eurozone to have a "single external representation" in international bodies, as mentioned in the EU treaty, and what contingencies there are in case the eurzone slips into deflation.Lastly, they ask Moscovici what his "concrete actions" will be in support of the all-but-dead financial transaction tax and what he plans to do in order to implement a common corporate tax base throughout the EU.The common tax base is designed to limit tax dumping of the sort Apple is doing in Ireland.
