Worries arise over ability to recoup aid

Experts say Europe should take steps to protect investments from China

CANNES, France - The European Union and its member states should revise their regulations to ensure investments and bond purchases that China and other countries make during the eurozone's current debt crisis are safe and can be returned, several European experts said.

The experts also said China should offer help in solving Europe's sovereign-debt crisis but should not try to make itself into the savior of the troubled euro. They said the EU and its member states can obtain more help from emerging markets only if they give assurances to their creditors and make institutional and structural reforms.
