"Eurobonds are an interesting idea. In fact, the Commission considered them already in 2008, in our document ‘EMU@10’ – the EMU’s 10th anniversary. However, in the meantime, with a view to addressing this crisis, we have created the EFSF and the ESFS. These instruments are far from exhaustive. If need be, they can be improved and adapted much more quickly than any alternatives, interesting as they may be. At present, I think we must ask ourselves a simple question: is the crisis best addressed with instruments that are consensual, or by opening yet another discussion on which there is no consensus? As your question suggests, there is indeed no consensus on the proposals made recently by Prime Minister Juncker.
I think the answer today is obvious. We should concentrate on what can build consensus in the euro area, because not having this consensus will be detrimental for the markets’ perception of the euro area. Let us not kill the very interesting idea of Eurobonds for the future, but let us concentrate, at this stage, on what we can do quickly and decisively."@en1
