EU, China to focus on trade, economy at summit
/\FP, Brussels
EU and Chinese leaders arc on Wednesday to steer clear of tough issues at a fence-mending summit focused on trade and the economic crisis after Beijing cancelled their last meeting over the Dalai Lama.
The summit, to be held in Prague, was originally set for last December but China called it off in protest at a meeting between Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama and French President Nicolas Sarkozy in Poland.
France held the rotating presidency of the 27-nation European Union at that lime until Paris handed the baton over to the Czech Republic at the start of the year.
Czech President Vaclav Klaus will host China Premier Wen Jiabao at Prague Castle along with European Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso and EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana.
"It's certainly a fence-mending summit and the problem is that it is only a fence-mending summit." said ana-lyst John Fox with the European Council on Foreign Relations, lamenting that tough political issues and the environment are on the backburner.
"The best tiling that can happen is that the summit goes ahead and that it won't be prevented by the Chinese being angry at Czech politicians making statements on Taiwan, orTibet or the Dalai Lama," he added.
He noted that the Czech republic's outspoken and euroskeptic president had a propensity for making "wild remarks".
Porsche, BMW consider state loans
AFP, Berlin
German car makers Porsche and BMW have discussed the possibility of stale loans as they navigate the global economic crisis that has taken a heavy toll on demand, Der Spiegel magazine reported.
"The two companies have not yet made an official request," the magazine reported in its edition due out on Monday.
"The financial director (of Porsche) Holger Haerter visited the headquarters of public bank KfW in Frankfurt ... to sound out the possibilities of Porsche obtaining state credit."
The magazine reported the amount to be about one billion euros (1.4 billion dollars).
BMW also made inquiries with KfW, the German government's financing arm, in April, according to Der Spiegel.
Porsche, which announced its merger with Volkswagen earlier this month, has seen its debt climb to some 10 billion euros.
BMW, meanwhile, has been hard hit by the economic crisis and cut more than 900 jobs in the first quarter.
The German government has created a 100-billion-euro fund to assist companies hit by the crisis. Dubai's 7-star hotel escapes crisis discounting
AFP, Florianopolis, Brazil
Dubai's Burj Al Arab Hotel -- billed as the first seven-star hotel in the world -- has. escaped a room-discounting move by owner the Jumeirah Group to shore up demand during the global downturn.
As a result, occupancy in the imposing 321-meter (1,053-foot) high building is "less than last year but within our expectations," Jumeirah chief executive Gerald Lawless told AFP Saturday on the sidelines of a world tourism conference in Brazil.
He declined to give occupancy rates.
But he said for the rest of Jumeirah's properties, steep price cuts were being offered to maintain demand.
"At the end of November, bookings were slowing down, so we started offering healthy discounts up to 30 percent for our source markets in the UK, Germany and Russia to stimulate demand," he said.
Despite the crisis, the group was maintaining client numbers from those three key markets, he said, though he noted that reservations were increasingly coming later in a bid to secure cheaper prices.
Commerzbank shareholders approve government stake
AFP, Berlin
Commerzbank shareholders on Saturday approved the German government's acquisition of more than 25 percent of the country's second-largest bank in connection with state aid, the bank said.
The government has injected more than 18 billion euros (24 billion dollars) into Commerzbank and its entry into the bank's capital was adopted almost unanimously, the company said in a statement.
A two-thirds vote was required for the 25 percent plus one share stake.
The bank would issue 295 million new shares at a price of six euros per share, the statement said.
The new shares would be acquired by the Financial Market Stabilisation Fund (SoFFin) -- the government's rescue fund - - at issue price, said the statement.
Now "Commerzbank is weatherproof and will implement its new strategy without delay," said Commerzbank's chairman Martin Blessing.
