EU leaders to approve banking reforms
 EU leaders are meeting in Brussels to approve a common set of rules
for managing the closure of failing eurozone banks in an orderly way.
Under a plan agreed by finance ministers, a 55 billion euro ($75
billion, £46 billion) fund will be set up, financed by the banking
industry, over 10 years.
The deal aims at building an EU banking union that should minimise
the need for taxpayer-funded bailouts. It could be the biggest
centralisation of EU power since the Euro's launch.
