Eurozone growth comes to a standstill

World Business Report

Available for over a year

The eurozone economy is flatlining, with growth between April and June this year non-existent. The two biggest economies France and Germany are doing worse than expected. We hear from the sales director of a Paris based furniture design company. Also in the programme economist Roger Bootle tells us why he thinks vulture funds are a necessary part of the financial world. Plus German car manufacturer Daimler gives workers the option of having all their e-mails auto-delete when they're on holiday - but is that such a good idea?
