EU seal deals on economy, climate packages
EU leaders sealed an agreement Friday for a 200 billion euro plan designed to dig Europe out of recession and a package to combat global warming on the final day of a crunch summit in Brussels. After persuading Ireland to submit a stalled EU reform treaty to a second referendum next year, the 27 leaders agreed to club together to fund an economic stimulus package and make major cuts in greenhouse gas emissions. "We are starting to change the way we do things in Europe -- talking less and doing more," French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who chaired the gathering, told a post-summit press conference.
