Central bankers and finance ministers from the 27 member states of the European Union are meeting in Goteborg, Sweden, under the presidency of Swedish Finance Minister Anders Borg. Economy and Finance Ministers (ECOFIN) meet in Gothenburg, Sweden, on October 1 & 2, four days after the end of the G-20 Summit in Pittsburgh. The 27 participating EU Ministers are expected to further discuss the results of the initiatives taken to fight the financial and economic crisis. The Swedish Presidency indicated its willingness to push ahead measures that would facilitate sustainable recovery. In the course of this two-day meeting, EU finance ministers and central bank governors will discuss how to restore the public finances to good order when the need for support measures recedes and how to create frameworks that can prevent such a widespread crisis from recurring. They will also discuss how to prevent unemployment becoming entrenched and how to stop climate and environmental change
