Belgian Prime Minister Yves Leterme (L) and European Commission chairman Jose Manuel Barroso (R) arrive for a press conference on November 20, 2008 in Brussels after a meeting on the financial crisis. Governments scrambled to cushion the impact of the finance crisis with France launching a 20-billion-euro sovereign wealth fund and China unveiling a jobs protection plan as the car industry made huge new cuts.
