> Actually the German surplus has been brought up for discussion many times in the EU parliament. Has it? I don't follow that clown show. Looks like Germany has the power within the EU to ignore such issues while bullying other countries into following the rules "we all agreed on". Naturally this topic is a total taboo in Germany. The worst excuse I heard so far was: "Yes, we profit the most and other countries may suffer in economic terms. BUT the EU as a whole brought so much more to these countries!" > This IDR concluded that a EIP was not necessary I know that the rule itself is 6% for surplus and 4% for deficit (?!)... So thanks for the link but I won't read it, I don't care why EIP was not necessary for whatever opinion. I just don't take the EU serious.
