Commentary feature in which author says 'on the specific question of the need for a change in the European Union treaties to create a permanent crisis resolution mechanism, German Chancellor Angela Merkel is indeed right.

Such an institution is needed to replace the European Financial Stability Facility when it expires in 2013'.

As this becomes clearer, the chances of an agreement, let alone ratification, may diminish'. |
