He said that “there is not much hierarchy or organic links between the main players and the main institutions”. European Comission President Jose Manuel Barroso, the head of the European Central Bank Jean-Claude Trichet and Mr Van Rompuy himself would be the triumverate in this “crisis cabinet”. <br /><br />And Honor Mahony again reports that at the same time the President of the European Commission called Germany’s plans on improving economic governance in the eurozone as “naïve”. He believes that any treaty reform is not feasible in the moment.<br /><br />My commentary is that a Crisis Cabinet is the Missing Link in the Eurozone Crisis debate.<br /><br />The May 2010 EU Finance Ministers Summit announced the foundation of European Economic Governance and waived state sovereignty. I believe The EU Crisis Cabinet could very well emerge to provide European wide policy and mechanisms for unified economic, banking, monetary and seigniorage government without Treaty reform or State Parliament approval.<br /><br />A currency crisis arose which took us out of the age of national independence into the age of mutual interdependence.<br /><br />We are now living in age of global governance where leaders meet in summit and announce policy, that is rules of governance; national sovereignty is foregone for the common good of all; then task forces develope consensus, and make further policy recommendations for final committment by leaders, who announce a Framework Agreement, which sets forth the economic, political, monetary and seigniorage rules for the region. Then stakeholders and a Council of Leaders govern and the people follow.theyenguyhttp://theyenguy.wordpress.com/2010/05/29/1475/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-492174345240444269.post-87497020574137228742010-05-25T15:17:15.531+02:002010-05-25T15:17:15.531+02:00@Grahnlaw,
