• ECB rates shouldn’t stay low for longer than needed
• France and Italy are increasing reasons for concern
• Credibility of fiscal rules at stake if stretched more

There’s a battle going on in the EU as France tries to skirt the 3%-to-GDP deficit rule.

The German bloc is pushing back, even as the continent threatens to fall into another recession.
