德国前总理提议建“欧洲合众国”

德国前总理施罗德上周日提议建立一个“欧洲合众国”，称欧洲地区需要一个统一的政府以防止未来再次发生经济危机。他表示，目前的经济危机说明没有一个统一的财政、经济和社会政策，就不可能有统一的货币区。他建议在目前欧洲委员会的基础上成立一个政府，即“欧洲合众国”，由欧洲议会对其进行监督。德国现任总理默克尔和法国总统萨科奇此前曾提议在2017年建立欧洲财政联盟，要求各成员国放弃财政预算政策方面的主权，以巩固欧洲货币联盟。不过欧元区其他国家对该项提议均反应冷淡。

Schroeder, a Social Democrat who ran the country from 1998 to 2005, said in an interview with Der Spiegel that European Union leaders were wrong to expect the euro to drive the bloc on its own。

"The current crisis makes it relentlessly clear that we cannot have a common currency zone without a common fiscal, economic and social policy," Schroeder said。
