That Stalling Feeling

So why was I stalling?

Even the handful of countries bent on stalling the process felt compelled to present a proposal, although it was incompatible with the call for consensus that they so vocally maintain.

The stalling of the inauguration of the President elect, which was finally held on 1 October 2005, raised internal tensions further and sent worrying signals to the country's external partners.

But the country s leaders have been stalling on the terms of a much needed International Monetary Fund loan. The government s reduction of fuel subsidies last year was not followed by additional reforms, and the required tax increase was delayed soon after President Mohamed Morsi announced it.

There are smarter ways to reduce emissions than just raising costs for industry and consumers.

The link having been made in section 3 of the Pretoria Declaration preconditioning the effective commencement of disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) with the adoption of the laws concerning naturalization and identification, the peace process is once again stalling because of the entrenched positions adopted by the parties to the conflict in Côte d'Ivoire.

Daunting as all of this may be, stalling vaccination is not an option. It is well established that when vaccination is impeded, the number of cases rises drastically, as was shown in Nigeria in 2003, where a ten month delay led to the infection of thousands of people domestically, and to reinfection in more than 20 other countries.

If income and job growth do not pick up soon, populist parties may come closer to power at the national level in Europe, with anti EU sentiments stalling the process of European economic and political integration. Worse, the eurozone may again be at risk some countries (the United Kingdom) may exit the EU others (the UK, Spain, and Belgium) eventually may break up.

Whoever wins will face an economy growing at a sluggish 2 or less next year, with a nagging risk of stalling completely. Unemployment will still be far too high, and almost half of it will be hard to solve, long term joblessness and even more if we count (as we should) the millions of Americans who have dropped out of the labor force.

I will not dwell on specific country or regional situations, except to briefly welcome the Council's recent decision to give the green light for the Kosovo future status process to move forward, for we believe that further stalling would not be beneficial either to the resolution of the matter and Kosovo's stabilization or for the stabilization of the wider region.
