The mismanagement of the Cyprus crisis has shown the limits of European decision making at critical moments. Vice President and Commissioner for Economic Affairs, Olli Rehn, has given a strong warning to demand a change of guard in the management of the bailouts: the end of that gibberish involving the Eurogroup (ie, the 17 finance ministers euro) and the Troika (European Commission, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund). Lack of transparency, democracy and spare lack ministers and institutions capable of imposing a ban on others. Things do not work: Rehn warned that the decision-making, with the reins in the hands of capital, is far from perfect. And even the ECB joined the clarion call, aware that something has to change so that the management of the eurozone ceases to accumulate errors.
Europe will be forged in crises, says the old aphorism community. But Europe forged in the greatest crisis in the six decades since the EU is not just liking: the institutional balance is increasingly broken in favor of the intergovernmental. It is the governments who run the show at times you need to make key decisions, and not genuinely Community institutions-the European Commission, in the first place, relegated to a secondary role, almost technical secretariat, because of the strange European retreat to the national.
Rehn on Wednesday rebelled against it in Parliament. "We must recognize that there is a structural problem in decision-making in the economic area," he said in a self-critical throughout all unusual, which can also be interpreted as an arrow the Eurogroup and the IMF. "Intergovernmental agreements should be transferred to the Community framework," he explained. Put bluntly, that means management system designed three years ago, when the Greek crisis exploded, does not work. Brussels calls for end this strange marriage between the Eurogroup and the troika, with 20 people able to veto decisions.
In 2010 the Commission proposed to take over. Berlin and Company said "no"
Rehn ultimately want to be the Commission and European institutions who genuinely take charge in difficult times. Jörg Asmussen, a member of the ECB governing council, supported that request. He admitted that the bailout mechanisms were established at a time of crisis, "but at some point you have to change your settings." At some point, but not now. EU sources explained that Rehn's approach is designed for the long term, once users close the unending crisis that has just closed, and admitted that at this time in the capital there is no appetite for a return to the Community method of decision- decisions. The Commission has already proposed a system very different crisis resolution in May 2010 - "in the infamous night of 9 to May 10", in the words of Rehn-but the idea was rejected by Berlin and company. No EU rescue fund. The preferred capital intergovernmental mechanism (the European Financial Stability Fund), which later became the permanent stability mechanism or Mede, with an endowment much debated and managed outside the EU, based on national guarantees it provides each country.
The discrepancies between the ministers, particularly among institutions, ECB, IMF and Commission-have been constant throughout negotiations rescued countries. Greece has needed and two assistance programs and spent six years in recession. Neither in Portugal and Ireland can see the end of the tunnel, even though their conditions were renegotiated aid on several occasions. The icing was the lifeguard Cyprus, which included losses for bank deposits and generated an immediate wave of instability in the Eurozone, ended in a playpen and tackles the Mediterranean island to something very close to a depression. When the error was discovered, ECB, Commission, IMF, Nicosia and company blamed for what happened, in a coda unfortunate that became even more pronounced this skid. So much so that the European Parliament has come to weigh up the opening of an investigation to establish responsibilities.
