www.euronews.com Around 300000 members of the political party of former French president Nicolas Sarkozy are voting for a new leader. The opposition UMP has been without a head since Sarkozy lost the presidential election in May. Fighting for the leadership is a man whose style of politics has been compared to that of the former president. Jean-Francois Cope, who is UMP's Secretary General, is advocating the party move further to the right and become an aggressive opponent of the socialist government - courting supporters of Marine Le Pen's Front National. However, Cope will have to beat the favourite - former prime minister Francois Fillon. Fillon is warning that a move to right would cause a divide within the party, thus weakening it. Having played such a large role under Nicolas Sarkozy, Fillon is also portraying himself as an experienced statesman. Find us on: Youtube bit.ly Facebook www.facebook.com Twitter twitter.com

EurActiv article: www.euractiv.com The Single Market is considered by many as the biggest European achievement since the Union was created. It was born 20 years ago to ensure EU citizens can live, work, study or shop in any country. With more than 500 million consumers, EU businesses are also free to sell their goods and services anywwhere across the continent. Today, the European Commission believes that the single market holds the key to get Europe out of the crisis. European Commission's vice-president Michel Barnier on Wednesday put forward new proposals to further develop the single market. The plan aims at increasing growth, employment and confidence in the EU. 'I am very happy to confirm that this morning, the college adopted the Single market act II. This is a collective piece of work and it is a very important piece of work. It is the follow up to the first stage of the single market act which we presented a year ago in a context of very lucid diagnosis of the internal market which Mario Monti had carried out', said Commissioner for Internal Market Michel Barnier. Improving cross-border mobility of citizens and business across Europe or the digital economy are some of the new proposals. Barnier expects five of the 12 proposals to be adopted by the end of the year "if there is political will". 'Now, we think that 5 of these 12 proposals, if the political willing is there in the Council and the Parliament, these five could be adopted by the end of this year; the ...

United Nations peacekeepers stood by as troops from the Rwandan-backed M23 rebel group marched unopposed into Goma in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Small arms fire was heard soon after daybreak north of Goma, but that fighting ended swiftly and within four hours the M23 forces swept into the city unopposed. The rebels, who Congo's neighbour Rwanda has been forced to deny it is supporting, appear to have no clear aim now that they have control of Goma. It is expected they will demand significant concessions from the government before they agree to withdraw. There were fears that now that the city has fallen, rebel soldiers, who have spent months in eastern Congo's wild hinterland, will go on a rampage of looting and rape, particularly if the UN continues to appear ineffective. So far, however, they have been well-disciplined. "They marched right past my house, they were in smart uniforms and looked disciplined, but we know that they can start stealing or getting drunk and then we don't know who will protect us," a motorcycle taxi driver in Goma said.
