14:55 EDT - Companies that use Western Union Business Services to handle foreign-currency payments aren't worried that the euro will break up. They're too busy buying the single currency now that it's fallen against the dollar as the union's fiscal woes come to the fore. "The last few months were a breath of fresh air for the euro," said Jens Buckler, regional manager at Western Union Business Solutions in Washington. He says his customers are hedging their euro exposure, but are mostly worried about the economic consequences of a euro zone slowdown rather than the currency union dissolving.
