US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was making the Obama administration's case for stronger action to foreign ministers from Britain, France, Germany and Italy as part of a series of high-level talks in this Swiss city. But the European Union's top diplomat, Catherine Ashton, sidestepped the question of how quickly the EU would act, saying the goal now was for governments to work "in a coordinated way." (AP)
