			<description>&lt;p&gt;It is very tempting to hope for a fast way out of the current economic difficulties. The Circle of Economists is disassociating itself from this reassuring vision, which does not make it possible to envision and implement the institutional reforms and coordination essential for the emergence of a new growth model. Contrary to popular belief, this period may be favourable to France.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

			<link>http://www.ccrworld.net/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=view&amp;id=458</link>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;GDP growth in the European Union is expected to fall by 1.8% in 2009 before recovering moderately to 0.5% in 2010.
