Yuan's dollar link hurts Europe: Barroso

The yuan's link to the dollar is problematic for some sectors in the European economy, European Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso said on Sunday, ahead of a summit with Chinese leaders.                                           

"Not because we have a too strong euro but because we have a weak dollar, and this is indeed creating some problems," he told reporters.                                           

Barroso said that he had delivered that message at a dinner with Chinese premier Wen Jiabao.
