Short crisis meeting with European coming (9)

I believe the answer is:

emergence

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'european coming' is the definition.
'emergence' can be an answer for 'coming' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'european' bit.

'short crisis meeting with' is the wordplay.
'short' means to remove the last letter.
'crisis' becomes 'emergency' (emergency is a kind of crisis).
'meeting with' becomes 'e' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'emergency' with its last letter taken off is 'emergenc'.
'emergenc'+'e'='EMERGENCE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for emergence that I've seen before include "Development" , "rise" , "Sudden appearance" , "Advent" , "First appearance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
