NEW EU PRESIDENT CALLS FOR ECONOMIC SUMMIT

On his first day in office, European Union President Herman Van Rompuy
has called for an EU economic summit in Brussels in February.
The European Union's first full-time president began his first day in
office on Monday by immediately calling for an EU summit on February
11th to discuss economic issues.
Herman Van Rompuy has a lot to tackle in his new position. External
threats such as terrorism and climate change are near the top of the
agenda, but the biggest problem facing Van Rompuy and the EU is the
status of the bloc's weakened economy.
"This is my first official working day. I'm preparing already the next
European Council on February 11. I took the initiative to convene this
council," Van Rompuy said in a statement. "We need more economic growth,
in order to finance on a sound basis our social model, to preserve our
European way of life."
Van Rompuy, who was previously the prime minister of Belgium, will
initially work with Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero,
as Spain now holds the rotating EU presidency.
Zapatero seeks advice
The Spanish prime minister, whose country took over the 6-month
presidency on January 1st, will be seeking advice from veteran experts
on how to get the EU out of its economic crisis. Spanish Prime Minister

role while it holds the rotating EU presidency
Government sources say Zapatero is set to meet with former European
Commission president Jacques Delors, former Spanish premier Felipe
Gonzalez, former European economic affairs commissioner Pedro Solbes and
Spanish Economy Minister Elena Salgado in Madrid on Tuesday.
Defining the job
In addition to dealing with problems facing the EU, Van Rompuy also
faces the challenge of clearly defining his own job description. The
post of EU president was created under the Lisbon Treaty, which came
into force on the 1st of December last year, after years of difficult
negotiations between EU member states.
There had been fears that Van Rompuy and Zapatero would embark on a
phase of disputes over decision-making, but Zapatero has vowed that
Spain will take a backstage role in such matters.
The February summit in Brussels is expected to provide a forum to launch
informal talks on a longterm EU economic strategy covering the period
until 2020.

"The European Union's first full-time president."
The European Union is Modern Rome -- or, the second half of the Roman
Empire as depicted by Daniel.
[KJV] Daniel 2:33
His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.
There are several prophecies of times and days in both Daniel and
Revelation which indicate that from the establishment of the last
(second) part of the Roman Empire, the Lord will return to defeat Satan
in about seven years.
I can not, and I am not, saying this seven year time period has now
begun. There are several other signs which must accompany the
establishment of this end time empire before we can know of a certainty
that God has begun counting the days. However, even though we may know
that God has begun to count the days, we can not know the exact day or
hour He began the count.
