[D66] Verhofstadt - Lessons still not learned from post Lehman bankcrisis

[T. Jouwstra]

Henk,

Je moet niet denken, jij moet gewoon doen. Los die crisis eens op, trek aan de relevante touwtjes, stimuleer daar waar het kan, kortom: It is up to you.

Democsss,

Het is maar de vraag of Verhofstadt zelf de 'lessons has learned'. Mij lijkt het dat ie met een te simpel antwoord een probleem wenst op te lossen dat veel dieper ligt, en waar men Verhofstadt maar niet over hoort, nl. hoe kwam het tot de crisis, en hoe wordt die in de toekomst voorkomen ?!!

Hoe ook kwam nu (nog) Dexia alsnog in de problemen? En geldt dat straks ook niet voor de hele EU? Waarom mis-/gebruikt Verhofstadt de EU-burger als melkkoe, en dat voor problemen die hij maar niet wenst op te lossen?

            Verhofstadt: Lessons still not learned from post Lehman bank crisis 
              
            After months of repeated alarms of another crisis affecting the European financial sector, EU Ministers of Finance indicated yesterday in Luxembourg that a new bank rescue plan was on the way through a national coordinated recapitalisation.

            Guy Verhofstadt, ALDE group leader in the European Parliament said: "It seems that Member States just don't want to learn the lessons of the past. A rescue plan based on simply coordinating national measures will not work because it leaves distrust among banks which do not know what measures have been taken in other Member States."

            According to Verhofstadt: "A recapitalisation of banks is vital to prevent any possible chain reaction triggered by the ongoing Greek crisis. But if limited only to a coordination of national plans it risks being a repeat of the short-lived bank rescues which followed the Lehman collapse in 2008 and which did not lead to restoring confidence in the market and amongst the banks themselves."

            "What we need now is a common and transparent European recapitalisation plan for banks that guarantees a level playing for everyone," he concluded.
