European G-20 Globalists optimistic about their sovereignty-stealing prospects on April 2
The AIG Bonus Circus is yet another CFR-national-media-inflamed D-I-S-T-R-A-C-T-I-O-N to keep Americans' attention off the upcoming G-20 Global Economic Summit in London, April 2 ...much more important and pressing are these issues:
(1) Will Obama agree at the G-20 London Summit to establish a
Global Central Bank, a Global "Federal Reserve" ?
(2) Will Obama agree at the G-20 London Summit to study the proposal
for Global Currency, called the "acmetal" ?
(3) Will the American people wake up and focus enough to force the
U.S.S.A. Congress to have the vision and courage to protect America's
monetary sovereignty ?

The President of the European Commission hailed the 'spirit of convergence' as EU member states agreed
a package of measures to help solve the global economic crisis ahead of next month's G20 Summit in London on 2 April.
The 27 government leaders arrived at a unanimous agreement on plans to strengthen financial regulation, restore economic growth and functioning credit markets and provide an extra €100bn to fund rescues of fragile EU states and developing countries.
‘Europe is showing it's up to the challenge. We have agreed very concrete lines for the G20 Summit in London,' Barroso said, describing the meeting as being held in the 'spirit of convergence and the spirit of unity and confidence'.
'We need a coordinated fiscal stimulus and reform of the financial markets because without the stimulus you won’t have that recovery, and without reform of financial markets, it won’t be sustainable.'
Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who will chair the LondonSummit, said that Europe had 'laid foundations' for LondonSummit. 'The decisions we have made today and the extra money released will help ensure we will return the world economy to growth at the nearest possible opportunity.'
He said EU leaders had agreed on the need to take action to support their own economies through the current crisis. 'We have also agreed on the importance of doing what is necessary to restore jobs and growth by the fiscal actions we take,' he said.
After their two-day meeting on 19 and 20 March, the European Council published what it called 'agreed language with a view to the G20 Summit in London', which included 24 key points.
The agreement included:
* Continued international coordination and swift implementation of fiscal stimulus measures;
* Keeping markets open and avoiding all forms of protectionism;
* Increase 'very substantially' IMF resources for emergency bailouts. The EU has agreed a temporary loan
of €75bn;
* Doubled to €50bn the amount of emergency funding available to help fragile EU members;
* Reform of the governance of international financial institutions and making the process of selection of
top management posts 'more transparent and merit-based';
* Make macro-prudential supervision a standard part of financial sector oversight;
* Subject credit ratings agencies to proper regulation;
* Ensure appropriate regulation of all financial markets, products and participants that may present a systemic
risk, including hedge funds and private equity funds;
* Protect the financial system from ‘non-transparent, non-cooperative jurisdictions including offshore centres’; and
* Adopt common principles on corporate governance and remuneration practices to prevent compensation schemes
that 'incentivise excessive risk-taking'.
The Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek said that European leaders had reached a 'common, united position'. He said: 'There was unanimous support for our agreed text on the G20.'

Milestones on the road to the Summit
Agreement has now been reached on many of the steps that can help restore global economic growth through enhanced international coordination, and on further measures to be recommended to the leaders at the London Summit on 2nd April.
______
Key achievements ahead of the LondonSummit
[emphasis added]
The objective of the London Summit is to bring the world's biggest economies togetherto help restore global economic growth through enhanced international coordination. To achieve this requires three commitments by world leaders:
* First, to take whatever action is necessary to stabilise financial markets and enable families and businesses
to get through the recession.
* Second, to reform and strengthen the global financial and economic system in order to restore
confidence and trust.
* Third, to put the global economy on track for sustainable growth, high levels of employment and poverty reduction.
In the four months since the Washington Summit, international events such as the World Economic Forum in Davos have provided forums for discussion of possible solutions to the global economic crisis. Countries and regional groups from around the world have also been working closely together to find practical policies to meet all three commitments. Several governments – including Spain and Russia – have set out their own agendas following publication by the UK of its plan for recovery – The Road to the London Summit.
In the run-up to the London Summit, several preparatory meetings have made considerable progress in reaching agreement on some of the key issues. At the recent meeting of G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors, the following were agreed:
* A commitment to fight all forms of protectionism and maintain open trade
* A pledge to deliver the scale of sustained effort necessary to restore growth
* A promise that central banks will maintain expansionary policies as long as is needed
* A recognition of the urgent need to increase the resources of the International Monetary Fund
* Action to restore bank lending through measures such as liquidity support, recapitalisation and dealing
with impaired assets
* Appropriate regulation and oversight of all systemically important financial institutions, markets and instruments –
and registration of hedge funds or their managers
* Stronger regulation reinforced by macro-prudential oversight to prevent the build-up of systemic risk
* Changes to international banking regulations to ensure they dampen rather than amplify economic cycles
* Supervisory colleges, with strengthened international cooperation to prevent and resolve crises
* Regulatory oversight of all credit rating agencies whose ratings are used for regulatory purposes
* Identification of non-cooperative jurisdictions[ CCL TRANSLATION - countries that do not want to surrender
sovereignty ] – and a tool-box of effective counter-measures
* Sound practice principles for compensation
* Enhancement of the governance of international financial institutions to strengthen their effectiveness
and legitimacy - including open, merit-based selection processes for their heads.
Ahead of the G20 preparatory meeting, the Financial Stability Forum agreed to increase its membership to include
all the G20 countries, in order to enhance its ability to contribute to improving the international financial system. At the same meeting in London, the FSF also agreed on actionto improve banking regulation, get rid of bankers' bonuses that encourage excessive risk-taking and strengthen cross-border crisis management.
Some countries have already acted in anticipation of final agreement at the LondonSummit. Japan has agreed to lend the IMF $100m, even before agreement is reached on a figure for the increase in its resources. Switzerland, Austria and Luxembourg have followed Hong Kong, Singapore, Andorra and Liechtenstein in taking steps to improve the exchange of tax information with other countries in line with international standards drawn up by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development.
Others will follow suit in the days ahead, as the final measures needed to complete the global dealto be reached in London on 2nd Aprilare agreed.

The Great Convergence
[emphasis added, see Editor's blog for hyperlinks to further coverage of "big steps taken" over the last seven days, as addressed below]
It has been an important seven days on the road to the LondonSummit - with big steps taken towards a successful outcome on 2nd April.Last weekend's meeting of the G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors reached agreement on a wide range of measures necessary to tackle the global crisis. José Manuel Barroso, the European Commission President, told this website on Monday that there was now a ‘great convergence’ between the US and
the EU on the policy priorities ahead of the Summit. Later that day, Gordon Brown met a group of influential African leaders to hear about their countries' economic needs, ensuring the needs of poorer countries in Africa were not forgotten. A similar exercise on Wednesday brought business leaders from more than 20 countries to London to discuss their priorities with Mr Brown. Finally, there was unanimous agreement at the European Council meeting on Thursday on
plans to strengthen financial regulation, restore economic growth and functioning credit markets and provide an extra €100bn to fund rescues of fragile EU states and developing countries. Around the world, discussion of the agenda for
the London Summit is gathering pace, as a glance at the Global Update section of this website shows. With less than
two weeks to go, the road ahead is becoming much clearer.

With just 10 days to go until the London Summit on 2 April, Foreign Office Minister Lord Malloch-Brown said the G20
was '75 to 80 per cent there' in terms of the outcome and urged a final 'flurry of effort' to get from 'good to excellent'.
This week the Prime Minister visits Europe, the United States and Latin America for key meetings with world leaders.

Outcome of Summit is '75 to 80 per cent there' says Malloch-Brown
[excerpts, emphasis added]
World leaders are already '75 to 80 per cent there' towards reaching a successful outcome to the London Summit on 2 April and need a final push to get from 'good to excellent', Foreign Office Minister Lord Malloch-Brown said on Sunday.
The final 10 days before the summit of world leaders on 2 April to draw up solutions to the global economic and financial crisis will see a 'flurry of effort'.
He said that the measure of success of the Summit for consumers and voters would be seeing world leaders 'rowing in the same direction' on 2 April.
The Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, travels to Europe, the United States and Latin Americathis week as part of the final effort to achieve a comprehensive package of measures to deal with the crisis when leaders meet on 2 April. Lord Malloch-Brown, the Prime Minister’s Special Envoy for the Summit, said that while the framework for an agreement at the Summit was '75 to 80 per cent of the way there' after the meeting of G20 finance ministers on 13 and 14 March, the last 10 days would be 'very critical'.
'There will be a last flurry of effort to get from good to, we hope, excellent in terms of the outcome,' Malloch-Brown told The Andrew Marr Show on BBC1 'It's hard but it’s not impossible.'
He said one unique factor about the approach to the current crisis was that there was a 'feeling of mutual interdependence' among leaders.
'They all realise that their economies are interconnected and that they're all in the market for solutions that bind them together,' he said.
Asked how ordinary people should judge the outcome of the Summit, the Minister said: 'The key criteria is that the ordinary person everywhere, whether as consumers, or voters or in some cases as shareholders, feels their shoulders relaxing a bit and that sense that here are a group of leaders who know what they are doing, they have a plan and are rowing in the same direction'.
He pointed out that the world is in the middle of a 'massive destruction of global wealth that won't stop on 2 April.'
One issue that is likely to feature in the meetings that the Prime Minister will hold this week is the need to move towards a new global trade deal and continued rejection of protectionism.'
Last week on 20 March, leaders of the 27 member states of the European Union reached unanimous agreement on their stance ahead of the LondonSummit.
In a move which the Prime Minister said had 'laid the foundations' for a successful summit, they set out plans to strengthen financial regulation, restore economic growth and functioning credit markets and provide an extra €100bn to fund rescues of fragile EU states and developing countries.
'There's going to be an announcement of global money but it's not necessarily around the major economies' national boost because we’re kind of in mid-course on that,' he said.

Hard-line G20 protesters will attract sympathy
On Sunday 22 March Andrew Marr interviewed Lord Malloch-Brown, Foreign Office Minister.
Please note 'The Andrew Marr Show' must be credited if any part of this transcript is used.
Foreign Office Minister says there is "enough anger out there" for people to support demonstrators.
ANDREW MARR:
Apart from all the intellectual preparation for this, it's going to be physically a very difficult thing to pull off this conference. You're going to have a huge number of protestors, all these world leaders in London. How worried are you about what's going to happen on the streets?
LORD MALLOCH-BROWN:
Well I very much hope that the bulk of the protestors are going to actually be protesting on behalf of the summit.
There's a trade union NGO march just a couple of days before, which is really trying to say to the leaders for
goodness sake, don't forget the poor, don't forget workers, make sure there are fair jobs
