Context:

In the same day of the presentation of the Commission’s package on EMU reform, the Next Left Economic Circle is delighted that Fabien Dell from Commissioner Moscovici’s Cabinet has agreed to present the Commission’s proposal. 

Background:

The weaknesses of euro area architecture that were exposed by the crisis have not yet been comprehensively addressed, although select issues have been dealt with. With Macron and despite political uncertainty in Germany, there is a critically important window of opportunity to put the euro area architecture on a more robust footing. As progressives, we will not only need to follow but shape this debate.
