ECBs Trichet siger, at Europa må fortsætte mod en politisk union!

Dette er i mine ører kontroversielt og skræmmende (men sandsynligvis realistisk):
In my personal view, Europe will need to make significant progress towards political unity with an executive branch and a parliament, both with extended responsibilities as in any democracy, Trichet said in a parliamentary hearing in Brussels today. Part of this executive branch would be a European finance ministry which will be responsible, not necessarily for a large federal budget, but certainly for a strong economic and fiscal surveillance and governance, for the handling of the financial sector and for the external representation of the Economic and Monetary Union.
