LONDON - In a reflection of Europe's discomfiture with US President George W Bush's nomination of Paul Wolfowitz to replace James Wolfensohn as the president of the World Bank, European members on the board of the multilateral funding agency may seek to interview the candidate separately for the job.
"The Europeans want to interview him by themselves and not inside the board," Reuters news agency quoted an unnamed source as saying. The decision was apparently made at a meeting by European board representatives, including Germany, France and Italy, to discuss President Bush's endorsement of his deputy defense secretary and a prime mover for the war on Iraq as the next World Bank president.
