One has to do with the size of the Recovery Fund, how big it is going to be. Euros wouldbillion be granted as grants to countries in Southern Europe that have been badly hit by the coronavirus. That could change during the weekend. There is an issue with the format, how much this money will be in terms of grants and how much will be a typical bailout just cash for reforms.

The technology that the boeing 737 max airliners utilized. Lawmakers in both parties say they will not let the boeing 737s take off again until they are 100 confident that consumer safety is going to be completely verify. That is the policy standpoint of this. From a practical matter, Dennis Muilenburg was asked on his way in by reporters whether or not he was going to resign. He said his focus is entirely on safety. ; and beyond that we should note that while Dennis Muilenburg will be testifying in the senate today and house tomorrow, the department of justice has the criminal investigation looking into matters, and lawmakers, especially democrats, not just looking at boeing, but also the International Regulatory regime, domestic regulatory regime, and the role that wall street ed in perhapsy pushing boeing a little bit too fast to adopt technology.
