EU to Discuss Strengthening Euro; Greeks Strike

 Members of the European Union are meeting in Brussels Thursday to discuss how to strengthen the ailing1 euro currency.

Germany is expected to press for the EU to play a stronger role in the economies of its member states, but it faces opposition2 by some member states reluctant to relinquish3 control over their finances.
The two-day meeting is seen as an incremental4 one, with no major decisions expected.
Meanwhile, Greeks are staging a general strike Thursday, walking off the job in the transport industry, hospitals, offices, and shops.
They are protesting austerity measures demanded by the European Central Bank, European Commission, and International Monetary5 Fund, in exchange for bailout funds.
This is the second general strike in Greece in less than a month. Security in Athens is high, as recent anti-austerity demonstrations6 have turned violent.
The Greek economy is near bankruptcy7. It is expected to receive a new infusion8 of loans next month from the European Union.
