Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

According to Münchau, that's all for next crisis, not for the current one.
(In our view, the European Council should consider bringing forward the date of the December 9 summit, and adopt proposals for a Treaty Reform for a fiscal union and Eurobonds right away. Without this, there will be no crisis resolution. At this rate of market panic, it is not clear that the eurozone will otherwise make it until December 9.)

I can't access the link, so can't tell if the quoted part is from Münchau or quoted by him from someone else. If the former, then he is speaking of Eurobonds as well as fiscal union as solution to the current crisis. Earlier it has been argued by many though that treaty changes take years and thus can indeed only address the next crisis rather than the current one. So again Martin Schulz in today's taz, though his quick solution Eurobonds supported by individual member states separately, solves nothing if I remember correctly.

Paragraphs in parentheses in the middle of Eurointelligence's press reviews are editorial comments (presumably by Münchau).
