EU to hold special Summit in Brussels
French president-elect Francois Hollande will be invited to the
unofficial summit in Brussels. An official of the European Union says EU
leaders will hold an unofficial summit on May 23rd to discuss growth
strategies.This meet as extra ordinary or special meeting between the officials to
get acquainted with the minds of incoming leaders and those with old guards.
The move comes after voters in France and Greece showed dissatisfaction with their governments' austerity measures.The meeting will come ahead of an official EU summit scheduled for late June.The leaders are expected to exchange views on economic growth strategies to ease concerns over the region's sovereign debt issues.
On Sunday, in France's presidential election and Greece's parliamentary election, voters of both countries favored parties opposing the austerity plans their governments were backing in line with the EU's bid to tackle the euro zone debt crisis.In his election campaign, Hollande insisted that France should put priority on economic growth and end the austerity measures.
The unofficial talks between EU leaders and Hollande are apparently aimed at reassuring markets amid growing uncertainties following the change of governments in France and Greece.
