<DIV>Democsss,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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 ?!!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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?</DIV>

<P align=justify>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.</P>

width=90 height=90>Guy Verhofstadt</STRONG>, ALDE group leader in
the European Parliament said: <EM>"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."</EM></P>
<P align=justify>According to Verhofstadt: <EM>"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."</EM></P>
<P align=justify><EM>"What we need now is a common and transparent
European recapitalisation plan for banks that guarantees a level
playing for everyone,"</EM> he
concluded.</P></FONT></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
