Following are comments by EU leaders and officials ahead of Thursday's talks: LUXEMBOURG'S PRIME MINISTER AND EUROGROUP PRESIDENT JEAN-CLAUDE JUNCKER "We must talk about the issue of growth. We must talk about the short-term problems in the financial markets." AUSTRIAN CHANCELLOR WERNER FAYMANN "It's important that we take some steps faster on our way to deeper integration." "We have to show the people of Europe that we are serious." FINNISH PRIME MINISTER JYRKI KATAINEN ON MUTUALISED EURO ZONE DEBT: "We cannot create Europe which is based on mutualised liabilities or new structures for just having new payers for the current bill. New structures must be beneficial for everyone." "We don't like the euro bonds." Link this Share this Digg this Email Reprints
