Barack Obama has received from European leaders who met Tuesday in the G-20 guarantees that in the coming days, probably in the next European Council, will announce a comprehensive plan to address the crisis of the euro, including measures for the unification of tax and other stimulus to economic growth, as is clear from the statements made by senior U.S. officials in Los Cabos. The U.S. president, according to these sources, heard precise details of that plan, which considered vigorous enough to immediately return calm to the markets.
The meeting of the American president with colleagues from Germany, France, Italy and Spain, which joined the United Kingdom, although this country does not belong to the euro area, which happens on Monday, alone held with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and is part of Obama's efforts to precipitate a strong European reaction to the continuing loss of market confidence in the future of the euro.

Senior U.S. officials have explained that, in the course of these meetings, European leaders have promised to act on three fronts simultaneously: the design of a path to fiscal union to complement monetary union, specific support to the countries most threatened, like Spain and Italy, and the adoption of an investment project to revitalize the economy and create jobs.
As a senior U.S. official said after Obama's meeting with the Europeans, "Germany and other European countries represented here understand how severe, how serious is the challenge now, and know they are going to have to do more. " "What they are doing," he added, "is to develop the elements of an effective strategy, and for that strategy to work, must have two main parts: short-term growth and austerity measures in the long term."
The source expressed confidence that the details of these measures will be announced at short notice and will be sufficiently clear and strong enough to restore calm to the markets. "The framework we are developing, as we describe it, is a much stronger response than we've seen so far," he said.
The Treasury secretary, Lael Brainard, had said before the plan exposed to the U.S. by European leaders is "more integration, sharing banking risks, create firebreaks to help countries that are reforming and recognize the critical importance of promoting demand and job creation. "
U.S. officials say that Angela Merkel is aware of the degree of alarm that exists for the deterioration of the global economy right now and share the need for urgent action for growth. "We heard a commitment (the Germans) to give very specific content (give flesh to the bone, in the words in English) immediately to the ideas we have discussed," the sources said.
A plan that includes Merkel and Hollande
There may lie the main novelty of the proposals which the Europeans have been forwarded to U.S. President: the possibility that, finally, has managed to put together a specific plan that includes investment claimed by the French president, Francois Hollande, among others, confirming the while policy promoted so far by Merkel and picking up some of their demands, such as tax unification.
For reasons of domestic policy, Obama is pushing desperately for that commitment, to the point of appearing overly intrusive. Some European delegates, starting with the president of the Commission, Jose Manuel Durao Barroso, warned publicly that they have not come to Los Cabos to "hear lessons from anyone on how to manage the European economy." The White House on Tuesday made an effort to clarify Obama's activity in this G-20 has not been intended to replace a decision process that corresponds to the Europeans.
"Our role in this process is to listen and offer our experience on the steps that can be given. We are very familiar with the different positions in Europe and I think we may be able to contribute positively, recognizing that ultimately, this is a European issue that must be settled by Europeans, European policies and European resources, " said that deputy national security, Ben Rhodes.
The weight of the world economy, Merkel
German Chancellor Angela Merkel, has amply demonstrated to be a person capable of withstanding the pressure, and there is no guarantee that there still keep doing it for long. But this G-20 summit, German Chancellor has undergone a kind of different from the usual pressures: those economies that decide the course of the world and are now threatened by the recession.
That pressure has been led by the U.S. President, Barack Obama, but not alone. Obama has been doing that since long ago, and already had a face to face with Merkel at Camp David during the recent G-8. The difference this time is that the U.S. president spoke by other world leaders, such as India, Brazil and even China, which share the urge to solve the problems in Europe.
The impact of the euro crisis was the first item on the agenda of the meeting Obama held with Chinese President Hu Jintao, and it was also said on Monday that the president of Mexico, Felipe Calderon, who hosted the summit of developed and emerging countries. Calderon himself personally asked Merkel "an effective solution to encourage strong growth, sustained and balanced global economy."
Merkel is used to dealing with complaints from French, Italian, Spanish and Greek, which, ultimately, are manageable in the context of the German public. But having on their shoulders the fate of the world economy can be a burden too heavy, even for Merkel.
