    Economic & Monetary Union

    The Emu report, with the excuse of trying to build a true roadmap for the construction of “genuine Economic and monetary union” demonstrates that the principle of solidarity on which the European project should be based, will only be put into practice if the coun tries experiencing severe economic difficulties first follow, as a precondition, the austerity measures established in the Fiscal Compact, six pack and the future two pack. this does not represent a solution to, or a way out of, the crisis.
