EU forecasts quicker growth for France, Germany and Britain by George Parker

Mr Almunia predicted that EU growth would reach 2.2 per cent this year, up from the 2.1 per cent he predicted towards the end of last year. He warned that the outlook was not as good in Italy, Europe's fourth biggest economy. He revised Italy's growth forecast downwards this year from 1.5 per cent to 1.3 per cent, a gloomy message in the run-up to the country's general election.
