Europe Will Get Short-Term Solution

Monday, December 5, 2011

 

Growing expectations that the European summit this week will finally issue a road map that could end the debt crisis of the European zone. Seeing the last developments, it is true that the euro zone will get a short term solution, but how far the success rate of these solutions is uncertain.

 

The problem is the proposal put forward by Sarkozy sebearnya Merkel is not a unitary fiscal integration in Europe but forcibly imposed fiscal discipline in Europe. Actually there are many member states are less pleased with the implementation of this policy, for example, in France itself, Sarkozy was attacked by the opposition Socialist Francois Hollande about austerity pact to be signed by Sarkozy. In addition, Ireland was less likely to require a referendum that approved by the people, while the Netherlands is also not agree on a proposal that gives the power to Brussels to control the budget at the national level.

 

On the other hand, the proposal met with him but if there is no alternative at all is collapsing. While from the viewpoint of market participants, the ECB is still an opportunity to respond to more aggressive action and solve problems. After the ECB signaled that they'd be more aggressive if there is a change in the overall fiscal Europe, investors anticipate changes in the pact that would become the foundation of the ECB to act further.

Europe UK Veto Rights Question

Tuesday, December 13, 2011

 

Friction between the European and British officials increasingly tapered post-European high-level meeting last week. Britain's decision to veto a plan to amend the European Pact condemnation of the region's political actors.

 

Combined high-ranking European countries are now called for the British rights to the EU budget rules repealed. "If the UK does not appear solidarity, why 26 other countries are not showing something similar to the British?" said Joseph Daul, leader of the European People's Party. The statement that he expressed during the legislative debate in Strasbourg, France, to discuss the economic situation of the blue continent.

 

Daul reminded that the statement is not a 'declaration of resistance' against the British. "Solidarity move in both directions, not just one," said Daul. He saw that the taxpayers' money should be used for a good thing, not to appreciate the selfish and nationalistic attitudes.

 

A similar attitude shown by the leaders of the European Socialist Party, the Liberal Party and the Greens. Prime Minister David Cameron had requested the concession of financial rules as barter for amendment of Europe in Brussels Pact. Liberal Party leader, Guy Verhofstadt called Cameron's decision as a 'blunder' While Rebecca Harms of the attitude of the British Green Party cursed as 'evil ways'.

 

Amidst all the debate, both reformist and conservative parties of Europe, agreed that Britain could not scapegoats. Although the British described as the passenger who grabbed life jackets on the Titanic when the ship carrying European countries are sinking. EU President and the President of the European Commissioner agreed that 27 countries could not reach an agreement as required under the provisions. However, Herman van Rompuy and Jose Manuel Barroso did not see any fundamental difference between the 17 countries using the euro and 10 other European countries. British veto is a dynamic that does not infringe on constitutional law.

 

England was unfortunate attitude of many, given the non-euro nine other members were ready to consider participating in the Euro Pact. "It's not a deal 17 plus, but rather to deal minus 27," said Barroso. Barroso was unanimously wanted the matter of new European regulations, rather than a difference of opinion. There has been no response from state officials and European officials about the discourse of the British veto repeal of any regulation of the European budgetary policy.
