Merkel focuses on EU Parliament cooperation for Top EU Jobs and doesn't exclude Weber yet
*Brussels/EU Summit/Angelo Marcopolo/-German Chancellor Angie Merkel, in a Unique Press-point with the Journalists who remained still at EU Council's Building overNight, at Early Morning, including "Eurofora", speaking after a Longer than expected Debate among EU Heads of State/Government, (which Extended from about 8 p.m. up to almost 2.30 a.m. in the next Morning), announced officially that this EU Summit had not found a Majority for endorsing the job of EU Commission's Future President (2019-2024) the Winner of the latest EU Parliament's Electiosns, (Manfred Weber, Top ChistianDemocrat/EPP Leader).
Therefore, it was decided to Work Together with EU Parliament, (which Votes on the Candidates) in order to search a Solution for the 30 June - 1st July, (i.e. just before the 1st Plenary Session of the New EU Parliament in Strasbourg. She characteristically abstained, however, from already accepting to drop the Name of Weber from the Top List, without Explaining what this might mean in real practice.
The exceptional Refusal of the Center-Left to apply this year the Principle of the "SpitzenKandidaten", (i.e. that the Winner of the EU Parliament's Election takes the Top Job), notoriously blocked the situation inside the EU Council.
But Nobody knows yet, what Surprises might give the New EU Parliament, where the Left is a Minority, as the Absolute Majority corresponds to a Unity of the Right. (See : ..., etc)

Brixen-Bressnone/ACM/10 August 2008
Pope Benedict XVI launched a call "in the name of the common Christian heritage" of "all Christians", to "immediately stop military actions", and "resolutely take, the road of negotiation and dialogue", with "Initiatives" for a "peaceful and sustainable solution" in South Ossetia.
It's with "profound anxiety" that we read "the news, more and more dramatic", on "these tragic events ..which have caused many innocent victims and obliged a great number of civilians to leave their homes". All involved must "avoid to cause more, and worse sufferings to the population", he said.
He warned against "more violent confrontations and retaliations, which may degenerate in a conflict of even larger scope".
To avoid this risk, "the International Community and the most inffuent countries" should "make every effort to support and promote .. initiatives" for a stable Peace, he stressed, shortly before his visit to France, where President Nicolas Sarkozy is the current EU chair.
"Together with our Orthodox brothers, we pray for these aims, and we entrust them to the intercession of her sanctity, virgin Mary, Mother of Jesus and of all Christians", he concluded.
Pope Benedict XVI spoke in front of more than 12.000 People during the Angelus of an Open-air Mass at Brixen-Bressalone (north of Italy), at the end of his short stay at the Alpes, close to German chancelor Angie Merkel's restplace, where he received the visits of two f.Italian Presidents, Ciampi and Cossiga, together with Minister Tremonti.
Pope's spokesman, Federico Lombardi, said ttesterday that he highlighted Brixen-Bressanone's synthesis, a peaceful and mutually enriching meeting point of many cultures, as "a model for Europe".
