The European method at its best. Heads of State and Government of the EU harvested his second failure in just one week, the partners become an unlikely flirting with bankruptcy in Greece, unable to agree on the division of the budget crisis in the coming years. For a few billion euros-not too many-but above all by the widespread mine what about this kind of summits that leaders strive to become the mother of all battles, Council President, Herman Van Rompuy, was forced to postpone the negotiations until the first quarter of 2013. Kick forward, again, to the realization that you can not find Brussels today to balance the mantra of cuts at all costs want the rich countries and the tantrum of the poor, who see funding drop to agriculture, solidarity, cohesion and virtually any European initiative that benefits them.

Politically, the most relevant of the failed summit is that Berlin would not use the knife. Chancellor Angela Merkel drew his vein diplomatic knowing that the real battle is not a shrinking budget, which ultimately will also impose its austerity criteria. Merkel mince his words and never wanted to further isolate a UK increasingly cast aside in Brussels, returning to threaten a possible veto by requiring a cut end - even for German guns - in community budgets.
London for months dangerously slips down a slope of gradual withdrawal of the European project. In this context, Germany decided to respect the liturgy and allow failure in this first summit for all leaders (and particularly a pressed David Cameron) saved the home side. Berlin knows that at some point may need to London with the finding that the Berlin-Paris axis is low hours, and especially with the assurance that the real war is another: the banking union, the political union in any case not of a Pyrrhic budget that amounts to just 1% of European GDP and that can hardly serve as an impetus to nowhere.
In Brussels there was an air of sweet defeat. Floated the feeling that in reality nothing happens, there will be agreement later, when leaders are willing to negotiate red lines now seem unbreakable. Europe does not seem to have any sense of urgency: the same goes for Greece. In that vein, Van Rompuy said the summit failed "is not a drama." "Negotiations as complicated usually takes two attempts," he said. It has always been, in effect in 2005, without going any further, in conversations about the previous fiscal framework.
Your team will work in the coming weeks to finish chiseling a proposal made to overcome veto threats. That plan is necessarily downward if the adage is true that the one who pays, commands. The Council has presented in recent days two proposals are very similar, with a cut of 80,000 million for the period 2014-2020 compared to the previous project of the European Commission, and with a reduction of 20,000 million from the previous fiscal framework. The "Turkish Bazaar", according to Happy Guy Verhofstadt MEP definition-which has become this impeded bargaining agreement: meet the demands of the peripheral aid, ax UK demanded much higher, like Sweden and Netherlands, Germany, Finland and the Netherlands were somewhat more moderate among the rich: pruning claimed more than 30,000 million. France looked good Van Rompuy plan, but called for a pinch for agriculture. And so on ad infinitum.
There was too much drama, even until dawn marathon meetings in the two-day summit. And yet a senior EU official admitted that the failure complicates efforts to revive the stagnant eurozone, and reinforces the impression that the EU leaders are unable to make executive decisions. If negotiations are too long may delay multi-million investment in energy and transport projects in the poorest countries, intended to help them catch up with the West economically richer, for example.
Diplomatic sources say it is likely that the end snip range between Van Rompuy 80,000 million and 100,000 million asking Berlin a few weeks ago. The list of grievances that would leave that setting affects all items to all chapters and all countries, although Spain, with the latest proposal of Van Rompuy in hand already become a dead letter and that the government had signed without too fuss - did not seem to be finally coming out of countries worse off.
Despite the obvious failure, Chancellor Merkel worked to emphasize the positive atmosphere that has presided over the meeting. "There is potential for an agreement," said the head of the German government. Merkel would not go into the details of the fight that had just starred. "We decided not to negotiate in public," he said in contradiction to what a few feet away was telling British Prime Minister David Cameron, who accused Brussels of living in a "parallel universe", which aims to isolate the euroburocracia cuts affecting the entire continent.
Both Merkel and Cameron can go home with messages to their constituents pursuing: Europe cuts also affects Brussels. No one, absolutely no one else defends: Hollande yesterday was limited to ensuring that fight for no additional cuts anticipated by Van Rompuy. Not a hint of Hollande who fought for growth pact that is missing, not a hint of France that would combat the austerity dogma above all things, informs Cristina Porteiro.
