Eurogroup Chairman, Dutchman Jeroen Dijsselbloem not contemplated leaving the presidency of the new single resolution mechanism -equivalent banks in crisis as Spaniard FROB and thus clear the way the economy minister, Luis de Guindos, to replace such advance to the front of the finance ministers of the eurozone. “The minister does not arise Dijsselbloem leave the Eurogroup to go for the presidency of the single resolution mechanism”, his spokesman said yesterday, Simone Boitelle.
Netherlands and blocks the last scenario that drove the Spanish government to hasten Guindos the presidency of the Eurogroup. In fact, Spanish government sources took for granted last Thursday that it would Dijsselbloem settlement mechanism and even fixed the date as September 15.
Guindos, who attended yesterday at the Eurogroup meeting in Milan, said that the position of the Netherlands does not hit “at all” with the aspirations of Spain and has avoided comment on the statements of the spokesman Dijsselbloem. “That has not been discussed at the Eurogroup today”, he simply noted in a statement to the press.
The Dutch minister has already made clear last week that it plans to sell out his term as head of the Eurogroup, which does not end until June 2015, and did not rule for re-election. He also said that the pressure of Spain does not benefit the institution.
In his appearance before the press, Dijsselbloem avoided referring to his future and simply analyze the economic crisis. Eurogroup Chairman insist that many countries “can do more and should do more” in terms of structural reforms, accompanying monetary policies implemented by the European Central Bank (ECB) in order to promote growth. The finance ministers of the eurozone want a “new phase” focused on seeking growth through reforms, investments, fiscal and monetary policies, to leave behind the years focused on banking stability.
