Less than one week before Papandreou dropped his bombshell, eurozone leaders had spoken unequivocally The introduction of the European Semester has fundamentally changed the way our fiscal and economic policies are coordinated at European level, with co ordination at EU level now taking place before national decisions are taken. Simply put, pan eurozone financial governance had supposedly won the day.
