Euro area needs more integrated financial market
supervision, says OECD’s Gurría
14/01/2009 – OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría has called for a more centralised and integrated supervision of Euro area banks and financial markets to help prevent a recurrence of the financial turmoil which triggered the current recession.
Presenting the OECD Economic Survey of the Euro Area, Mr Gurría said policy-makers should create either a single EU-wide supervisor or a central agency to work in conjunction with national supervisors.
Effective coordination, he added, was key to re-establishing confidence and hastening a return to economic growth.
Mr Gurría said measures taken by European governments have helped prevent a systemic collapse in financial markets during the current crisis – even though the system is still under strain and doubts remain as to whether sufficient money has been set aside to recapitalise banks and to acquire troubled assets.

Let’s try this. Will this be a real genuine information?
It informs about oil topics all over the world.

we hope something’s going on for alternative energy supplies.

Pesticides are chemical poisons, designed to kill plants and animals such as insects (insecticides), weeds (herbicides), rodents (rodenticides), and mold or fungus (fungicides). They include active ingredients (those intended to kill the target) and inert ingredients, which are often not “inert” at all.
Pesticides can’t be innocuous for human health.

Rural and urban residents alike are increasingly becoming attuned to the way food tastes, despite — or perhaps because of — the abundance of highly processed matter that typically adorns our plate and lines our stomachs meal after meal.

Arouna P. Ouedraogo
INRA-CORELA, Paris
INTRODUCTION
• Presentation will focus on study on vegetarianism in France, which is part of a Food Acceptability research program undertaken at INRACORELA, Paris.

• Literature review on food acceptability, followed with series of in-depth interviews with panels of consumers across France, showed that several signals of food unease were crystallizing over beef meat.
These reports were further confirmed by statistic surveys.
