"FRANKFURT - The European Commission issued an unprecedented "early warning" Wednesday to Germany because its national deficit threatens to exceed limits mandated under the terms of membership in the single currency. The reprimand came as Hans Eichel, the German finance minister, presented his government's annual economic report, which forced him to concede some bitter truths."
