BRUSSELS: Eurozone business activity slipped in April, a closely watched survey showed on Friday, and the outlook remains gloomy despite major stimulus measures from the European Central Bank (ECB). Data monitoring company Markit said its April Composite Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) inched down to 53 points from a revised 53.1 points in March, and pointed to France as a major brake on the region’s recovery.
