Crises Overshadow EU Finance Ministers Meeting

A European Union finance ministers meeting is being overshadowed by the euro zone's ongoing economicrift gold problems and sexual assault charges against International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who had been expected to attend the two days of talks in Brussels.

The financial troubles of Greece, Portugal and other weaker euro-zone economies are expected to dominate the Brussels talks that end Tuesday. Finance ministers from the 27 European Union states are expected formally approve a $112 billion rescue plan for Portugal and discuss the possibility of more aid to Greece, which received its own bailout last year.

The chief economist for the Brussels-based European Policy Center, Fabian Zuleeg, says the 17-nation euro zonerift platinum is facing a tough period.
