The crisis should have sound European time

The Germany has to be overcome by China as world's leading exporter. AREVA was beat by a Korean group for a contract in Abu Dhabi. Europe was rejected concluding discussions in Copenhagen on climate, conducted by the American President and the Prime Minister of China. In the chapter of the financial regulation, the Union is unable to impose his views on America and Asia. Every week, every day, the history of European decommissioning is accelerating.

The crisis should have the opportunity of a burst of change, of a stimulus. Nothing of the sort. The decline is as integrated and assumed. The Asia ordering us of mashed industrial This is normal, they are so many. It cannot be nothing against demography. And then, after two centuries of development in the gap, it is their turn. Nothing to do. America, dominates us in technology and the knowledge society This is normal, they Google, after Microsoft, Intel and IBM. They have in their genes race "the new frontier." Nothing to do.

Nothing, except to rename the same, José Manuel Barroso to the Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, the Eurogroup, despite their removal during the crisis. Nothing, except duplicate institutional devices that immobility is the only thing that is growing in Europe. The new President of the Union, Herman Van Rompuy, inaugurated its mandate all nine in announcing priorities (rewrite of the Lisbon agenda). The next day, José Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, "rotating" President of the Council, a position maintained despite the redundancy that mark its existence has given others.

Depression signs the failure of "the Europe of the nations". The idea, to halt any federal advance was imposed soon after Maastricht. It has been installed by the couple Chirac-Schröder, France and Germany in concert, left and right together. This 'Europe of the nations' first lost in the long and difficult road of necessary institutional cross after enlargement; ten years of errors. Then, it is, of course, tied in the battle of nationalities. The Germany wanted to help the German factories Opel at the expense of Spanish, Belgian and English workers. Bank rescue plans have been developed at the national level.

The crisis should have sound European time. Ultraliberalism has failed and the Rhine model of regulation, of mixed state-market, should prevail. But state what state Brussels or the 27 capitals Basic question to which the Europe of the nations responded: the capitals. But the crisis and the acceleration of the world makes urgent Federal revival. Two examples.

European growth of yesterday consisted of countries consumers (Spain, Great Britain, France) and a producer country, the Germany. It was a reproduction of the US-China pattern, our scale. Depression signs exhaustion: consumer countries will save and, if the Germany does not consume, European growth will remain bleak without engine. At a minimum, an economic coordination became necessary (1).

The Greece opened a debt crisis. It is well advanced, as the fruit, with common budgetary slippages of member countries. Debt ratios spin to 100 of the GDP. How can the Government of Athens impose inevitable Spartan austerity Need to appeal to the IMF Why not introduce an incentive mechanism by to support investment by EU spending, as proposed Laurence Boone, Chief Economist with Barclays Capital (2)

"Be the fiscal solidarity within the euro area", supports Patrick Artus (3). Solidarity, i.e. federalism.

No policy sounds the alarm. The one new idea apparition is defensive, pushed by Nicolas Sarkozy, to tax the imports from the countries that are not committed to reduce their CO2. Our economy WINS, isolate, green and organic. Europe under Bell.
