Läsvärt från Englund

Gösta Bohmans gamle talskrivare Rolf Englund tillhandlahåller inte bara den kanske mest kompletta samlingen svenska och internationella nyheter om EU och EMU. Han deltar också själv i debatten. Ofta på ett mycket insiktsfullt sätt. I ett inlägg på opinionssidan i Financial Times kommenerade han exempelvis nyligen mycket träffande dubbelmoralen hos EU-politikerna.
"The Group of Seven said in its communiqué that "we emphasise that more flexibility in exchange rates is desirable for major countries and areas that lack such flexibility to promote smooth and widespread adjustments in the international financial system, based on market mechanisms".
After the meeting they /finance ministers and central bank governors of France, Germany, Italy, the UK and the European Union/ went home to administer the single European currency and to try to persuade their voters to accept the EU constitution, including the euro."
