Sarkozy regards an EU economic government as a way to preserve his leadership in the EU beyond France s Council presidency, which is now ending.

Statement of the EU

Transit countries such as Hungary try to divert refugees elsewhere. Resettling the almost 750,000 people who have sought asylum in the EU this year still only 0.14 of the EU population has thus become an existential crisis.

The situation screams emergency and has triggered a response by the EU. Most notably, the EU has tripled the budget of Operation Triton, designed to strengthen border security launched an EU wide naval operation against human smugglers and traffickers in the Mediterranean (EUNAVFOR Med) and allocated additional funds to overwhelmed frontline member countries.

As if this weren t bad enough, the Commission is preparing an emission trading scheme for EU airlines, with 2004 as the base year for setting quotas.

Against this background, it seems inconceivable that the EU should refuse to support an EMU member in a situation similar to that of Hungary and Latvia, especially as all the countries that are currently on market watch lists are long time EU members.
