Re: So (4.00 / 3)
Hmmm. If unanimity of consent is required, I don't think there's any chance at all of that plan working.

This looks to me more like electioneering by Merkozy, and perhaps a bit of a trial balloon.

I have my doubts they really believe they can make it stick when there are so many Eurozone countries with serious anti-EU sentiment.
