European Union officials were asked obama issue euro zone crisis

Barack Obama for EU officials to press for a permanent solution to their crisis of sovereign debt, which appears as a major concern to reach 2012 U.S. elections.

If Germany and France are fighting for control is to provide the budget for the euro area, the European Council President, Herman Van Rompuy and European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, the difficult questions of Barack Obama Monday the White House so long the crisis passes.

No progress is expected from the meeting, except for European leaders they need to make important decisions for the future of monetary union of 17 nations.

But Van Rompuy and the influence of Mr Barroso as head of the main institutions of the EU in the center of efforts to contain the crisis, the future of the euro area in question was thrown into a moment of weakness of the global economy to fight.

Obama talked regularly with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President, Nicolas Sarkozy, the summit provides an opportunity for him to continue to ratchet the pressure behind closed doors.

"He understands that this is a problem of European leadership," said Heather Conley of the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.

Obama and EU leaders, a statement after the summit ends with the president almost certainly have confidence in the European leaders who are able to manage the crisis when they show the political leaders to confirm.

He said that we must calm the markets "tough decisions" in Europe, but did not specify exactly what that might mean. Some in Washington believe that the European Central Bank would be more active in the crisis, however, which offers views of the Atlantic Ocean unpopular.

How the contagion of the crisis in Europe is to avoid crucial for Obama, whose re-election prospects in November depends on its ability to protect the U.S. economy against another to lower and lower the unemployment rate of 9%.

He traveled in Asia Pacific this month to strengthen economic ties, considered by many as an attempt to weakness in Europe is close to the 2012 elections and Republicans hammer his record of employment to offset the boost.

Barroso and Van Rompuy is in Washington with ideas on how to trade and investment across the Atlantic to raise in an attempt to stimulate growth, while the tensions of sovereign debt taken in Greece, Italy, Spain and elsewhere run.

These are attempts to emerging sectors such as electric cars and smart grids to support nanotechnology - for example, with less bureaucracy and lower import tariffs - and to facilitate the trading of raw materials.

Companies like Microsoft, Pfizer, Deutsche Bank and Coca-Cola said in a letter made public by the summit that there are significant business opportunities are taken across the Atlantic, although the U.S. and European economies are develop slowly.

"The United States and Europe remain the backbone of the global economy, mutual key markets for goods, services, capital and ideas," said the Transatlantic Business Council, whose members are Unilever, Intel, Siemens and Ford.

While economic interests dominate their meeting, the Obama, Barroso and Van Rompuy is due to the problems of Iran's nuclear research and murderous repression against demonstrators and Syria to discuss the violence in the Balkans and Europe Eastern.

Catherine Ashton, a senior foreign policy of the European Union and the former head of the exchange, and the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, are set to attend the next Arab League agreed sweeping sanctions against Syria.

European leaders are likely to be pushed in Washington to call for tougher sanctions against Iran, given that Europe is more commercial and energy relations with the countries of the United States only. Washington and Europe have strict sanctions against Damascus.
