"'We hebben de intentie om concrete stappen te overwegen naar een meer geintegreerde financiele architectuur in de vorm van het toezicht op banken, resolutie en herkapitalisatie, en de ondersteuning van een [gezamenlijk] depositogarantiestelsel'" (lees hier)Dit lijkt op een wanhopige poging om te praten, maar vooral niets te zeggen, maar toch weer wel iets zeggen, maar ook weer niet...Bijna aandoenlijk. Is dit misschien wat toen nog niet gezegd mocht worden, maar toch gezegd moest worden (om de internationale gemeenschap en de financiële markten misschien een beetje te kalmeren)?
"The European Foreign Ministers’ Future of Europe Group has outlined its ideas on current challenges and Europe’s future in an interim report. Foreign Minister Westerwelle believes that the European project “is facing the toughest test in its history”. The interim report states that Europe is facing two major challenges: first of all, it would have to work its way out of the current crisis, secondly it would have to evolve into a global player of weight. The current crisis was a “wake-up call”, it says in the report, to conduct the political debate on the future of the European project “now” and “across Europe”.
In the sphere of economic and fiscal policy, more European rights to intervene were necessary. In order to achieve sound national budgets, additional measures were required, in the medium term also by way of transferring sovereign rights.
The three pillars of sound financial policies, stimulus for growth to strengthen competitiveness and solidarity were the key to overcoming the crisis. Each of the three principles were indispensable and had to be further developed at European level.
More common policies would need efficient decision-making and streamlined institutions. For example, a smaller Commission could work more effectively. The Council could make more decisions by qualified majority and had to improve its work, for instance by way of permanent chairs.
Transferring additional tasks to the European level would require greater democratic legitimacy. To this end, for instance, the visibility of the European Parliament, had to be enhanced. Furthermore, the national parliaments had to be included more effectively in the EU’s work.
Europe would have to prepare itself better in the face of the global competition for growth, ideas and models of society, for example by strengthening the European External Action Service and the Common Foreign and Security Policy. (lees hier met dank aan Eu Referendum)
Is dit dan de langverwachte politieke baby van de eurocrisis, de voorspelde beslissende stap in de richting van de Verenigde Staten van Europa die de eurocrisis gebaard heeft?
