After two years of centering summit efforts on austerity and ways to keep debt down, the leaders are assessing ways to spur employment on Monday. "Only now, we are talking about work and employment. It is too late, but better now than never," said socialist trade union leader Rudy De Leeuw. Belgian Prime Minister Elio Di Rupo said both could go hand in hand. "Restoring growth that is what is essential for us. Also, we need more budgetary discipline. Together these two elements offer a way out of the crisis," Di Rupo said. To help jump-start the EU toward more growth and employment, the EU Commission is proposing to the summit leaders to redirect euro82 billion in existing funds toward countries in dire need of help to fix their labor market.
