In this May 27, 2010 file photo banner reading: "Billions for the banks - the debts for us - we say Thanks!" is attached during a small protest against the financial markets staged by a few demonstrators outside the Frankfurt Fair Tower building prior to the start of the general shareholders meeting of the Deutsche Bank AG in Frankfurt am Main. How stressed are Europe's banks? The question has long preoccupied markets, and European Union leaders hope to make a big step toward restoring confidence with the publication later this month of "stress tests" on the health of 91 banks across the continent, representing 65 percent of the EU's banking system.
