Reforming governance implies significant progress toward economic unification centralizing European debt through Eurobonds, mobilizing sufficient rescue funds, allowing the European Central Bank to intervene in the primary bond markets, and establishing both a fiscal and a banking union.

Goal 4 Core and non core resources aligned with commitments

Navigating it will require Italy to retain its credibility with other European Union member states and international investors. The new prime minister will need to persuade Germany, financial markets, and the European Council that Italy is a reliable partner.

Compounding the problem, no one truly understands the precise connections among Russian and European institutions and markets. The collapse of LTCM in 1998 was completely unexpected.

Although the Netherlands has the possibility to freeze assets nationally, the Netherlands prefers to act through the European Union in this respect, as European freezing orders are likely to be more effective given the integration of the European financial markets, as well as the international character of terrorism and terrorist financing.

Emergencies should not be dealt with on an ad hoc basis by 27 finance ministers frantic to reach a solution before the Asian markets open. And European leaders, in their desperation, should not coerce the European Central Bank into helping.
