The
paper, prepared by European Union finance ministers, sets out
the position for all European delegations for the G20 meeting of
finance ministers and central bankers in Baden Baden on March
17-18.
"We reaffirm our commitment to keep the global economy open,
resist protectionism and keep global economic cooperation on
track," said the document, seen by Reuters.
"Moreover, we support a rules- and market-based international
economic order with sound multilateral institutions."
An early draft communique for the G20 meeting showed on March 7
that the world's financial leaders may no longer explicitly
reject protectionism or competitive currency devaluations.
Instead, following the change of administration in Washington,
they may promise only to keep an "open and fair international
trading system".
