Gefahren und Chancen nach dem Griechenland-Deal: Warum Europa dringend die Wirtschafts und Währungsunion vollenden muss (PDF)
After the tough negotiations with Greece, our Presidents, Henrik Enderlein and Gerhard Cromme, analyze the dangers and opportunities resulting from the agreement for a strengthening of the EMU. They identify notably the risks of complacency, the start of a blaming game, and of “fiddling about” in the absence of a long-term strategy and a political vision of the EMU. However, this agreement could also prove to be a basis for intelligent reforms that push to revisit European fiscal policy, and to reinforce investment and integration. This tribune calls for greater Franco-German cooperation in order to finally realize the historic goal of completing the EMU.
