Draft conclusions from a meeting of European Union finance ministers in Brussels showed member states were willing to agree measures to keep their economies competitive, a core demand of Germany's.

That may in turn secure German backing for a strengthening of the European Financial Stability Facility, the temporary euro zone bailout mechanism set up in May, of which Ireland is a beneficiary.
