France and Germany to propose bitcoin regulations
london - Emiratesvoice
France and Germany said Thursday plan to make a joint proposal on regulating bitcoin at a meeting of finance ministers from the G20 countries in March.
"We have the same concerns and we share the goal of regulating bitcoin," French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said at a joint press conference with his German counterpart Peter Altmaier.
Le Maire has tasked a former deputy governor of the Bank of France to come up with proposals.
"These proposals on regulation will be submitted as joint French-German position to our G20 counterparts" at their mid-March meeting in Buenos Aires.
The Group of 20 club of nations, which was born during the 2008 financial crisis, has focused on the global economy.
For his part, Altmaier said "we have a responsibility to our citizens to explain the risks and reduce the risks by regulations which are needed."
Their promise to develop regulations came a day after a sharp drop in the value of bitcoin, which fell through the $10,000 level for the first time since November after authorities in China and South Korea cracked down on cryptocurrencies.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
