BRASILIA, July 6 (Xinhua) -- Brazil's interim president, Michel Temer, stated
Wednesday in a statement there was "almost no risk" of contracting the Zika
virus during the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

"We can guarantee, as has the World Health Organization (WHO), that there is
almost no risk of cases of the Zika virus occurring during the Games," he said.

Temer explained that the winter in the Southern Hemisphere saw very low
spread of diseases carried by the Aedes aegypti mosquito and that cases of Zika
had plummeted in recent weeks in Rio de Janeiro and across Brazil.

"I remember that during the 2014 World Cup, when 1.4 million foreign tourists
visited Brazil, a much awaited epidemic never happened. We will have a favorable
environment for tourists during the Games," said Temer.

According to the interim president, Brazil stands ready to welcome all
visitors "with open arms".

However, a number of international athletes, including top golfers such as
Jason Day, Rory McIlroy and Vijay Singh and NBA superstar Steph Curry, have
pulled out due to Zika fears.

In June, the WHO said that there was no need to cancel or postpone the Games,
since the propagation of Zika is unlikely to be affected by the sports event.

ROME, March 22 (Xinhua) -- The idea of a multi-speed European Union (EU),
which is being discussed as a way to push integration faster and deeper, is
meant to be an ever inclusive path, a prominent Italian analyst has said.

"The idea of a multi-speed Europe is nothing new, but a reality within the
bloc," Ettore Greco, director of the Institute for International Affairs (IAI)
in Rome, told Xinhua in a recent interview.

The scholar mentioned the euro-zone as main example. "We have the single
currency area, now counting 19 countries out of current 28 members of the EU
(including the UK), as well as other forms of differentiation within the bloc,"
he said.

"There is nothing wrong in it -- the only issue is to take advantage of such
possibility in order to move forward."

Yet, it must be certain -- and it should "be repeated on every possible
occasion, and with the strongest determination" -- that any project of deeper
integration among some EU countries has to remain open, the analyst stressed.

"Any similar plan should remain always inclusive for other EU countries to
join, if and when they decide... As it is with the euro currency."

"Some countries have remained outside the euro since the beginning," Greco
explained.

"Yet, the euro-zone remains open, and those countries are always free to join
in, provided they fulfil the required criteria, which is crucial to the solidity
of the project itself."

Meanwhile, EU officials and sherpas in Brussels have been engaged in drafting
a declaration of unity to mark the celebrations for the 60th anniversary of the
EU's founding treaty in Rome next Saturday.

The six founding members of the European integration (including Italy), and
the EU Commission are endorsing the idea of different groups moving at different
speeds within the bloc.

Other EU members -- and especially the four Central European countries
gathering in the so-called Visegrad group -- oppose the idea for fear it would
be a way to cut out smaller or weaker partners.

The four nations -- also called Visegrad Group or V4 -- are Slovakia, Poland,
Hungary and Czech Republic. They are in a cultural and political alliance.

Such a row would result in a compromise, and an open mention to the
"multi-speed Europe" in the Rome declaration was not likely, according to Greco.

The analyst would rather expect Rome's final statement to contain a soft
reference to different paces of integration within the framework of the EU
treaty.

All EU member states' leaders will attend the official ceremony in Rome on
March 25, but the UK. The British government has in fact announced it will
trigger the process to exit the EU on March 29.

Yet, the Brexit is only one of the many challenges the EU was facing today,
including relevant changes in the global environment. In this perspective,
China's recent endorsement of a deeper European integration was much
appreciated, he said.

"We are very satisfied by it, and also by the statements (in support of
globalization) Chinese President Xi Jinping made at the 2017 World Economic
Forum in Davos," Greco said.

The EU was in favor of globalization, provided there were tools to govern
such process and avoid its negative side effects.

"Particularly in a phase in which the new U.S. administration puts into
question the idea of a system based on free trade, it is e.
