Merkel on a roll: These are decisive days for Europe

  • Crisis shows daily how some euro states can hit all
  • Euro bloc must follow best practice, not mediocrity
  • Political union needs to correct euro’s failures
  • Shared liability is unprecise, can’t come first
  • Too much about liability, too little about controls
  • Control and liability must go hand in hand
  • Agrees with Van Rompuy’s building blocks
  • EU integration means more intervention in budgets
  • Mutual liability possible only with enough oversight
  • Euro bonds are the ‘wrong way’
  • German strength not unlimited, don’t overestimate
  • Euro bonds would lead to same old mistakes repeated
