...trade will increase with the rest of the euro zone, interest rates will drop from the current 2.75% to the 2% level in Euroland and investment in the country will increase. Sounds good - until you notice that the economies of the three E.U. members outside the euro - Britain, Denmark and Sweden - are actually doing much better than the 12 countries that have already adopted the euro. Economic growth in Sweden is expected to hit 1.4% this year, compared to 0.4% in recessionary Germany. Unemployment in Sweden is just 5.4%, almost half of the jobless total in Germany or France...
...debate by hinting Sweden faces a bleak future without the euro. In a newspaper article, Carl-Henric Svanberg, the CEO of phone-giant Ericsson, said that companies would stop investing in Sweden and might even move out of the country if voters reject the euro. Opponents note Denmark did precisely that in 2000 and nothing dire happened there.

There has been wide speculation that Kenyan track authorities were promised payment or a new track facility by their Qatari counterparts. Both federations have denied such allegations, but Al-Hamad does not exclude the possibility that an agreement could have been brokered at a higher level...
...Baghdad headquarters, the Spanish public remains quiet - and Aznar, like other leaders, hasn't budged. If anything, politicians in Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic say, the suicide attack strengthened their resolve. The first of 400 Danish soldiers sent to Iraq in July was killed last month, but Denmark has no plans to remove its forces. That determination could fade if Iraq claims large numbers of European lives. The day after an attack on Czech vehicles on Aug. 10, Czech Defense Minister Miroslav Kostelka said, "If the situation were suddenly and sharply to worsen, it is possible that measures would...
