-SOUNDBITE (German) Sebastian Kurz, Chancellor Austria: "Together with the Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden we are working on proposals from these four particularly economically strong countries. It is our objective to give the best possible boost to the European economy and also to reduce all regulations so that Europe as a business location can be successful in international competition and of course we want to show solidarity and we want to support countries like Italy, Spain or France that were hit hard by the crisis. But our approach is that we want to help with loans and not by a communitarisation of debts."
