The meeting of EU leaders in Brussels in Oct. 2012 focusses on the issue of setting up banking supervision for eurozone banks. France pushed hard for setting up the banking supervisory authority by Jan 2013. German chancellor Merkel facing elections in Sept. 2013 pushed for a longer time frame into 2013. Setting up the banking supervision, a basic part of the new eurozone financial architecture, would clear the way for direct aid to Spanish banks. In the end Germany and France agreed to complete the legislation setting up the supervisory system by the end of 2012, and getting the supervisory authority- to be placed under the ECB- operational "over the course of 2013," in Merkel's words.

France and Italy's push for a new Eurozone Architecture

05/23/2012

France and Italy's push is for improved financing of growth projects, coordination of monetary policy with budgets and fiscal situation of eurozone states, and mapping out a pathway that leads to joint issuance of eurobonds. French officials in the Hollande administration say the lack of this architecture is the cause of many of today's problems. Prime minister Monti of Italy played a key role in pushing for the changes at meetings in Rome and Brussels in June 21-27, 2012.

09/18/2012

Merkel supports ECB president Draghi's efforts to stabilize the euro in September 2012, but navigates around Bundesbank president Weidmann's opposition to sovereign bond purchases by the ECB by saying that proper eurozone banking supervision arrangements have to be established. Merkel and finance minister Schauble insist that this will require more time beyond the Jan 1, 2013 date in the EU proposal, to be done properly.
