Coordination ability faces test
Although Von Delaine stated that the EU will unite the member states, she also acknowledged in the letter that the EU countries have not always stood with Italy. Many media believe that this refers to the fact that some EU countries are in disagreement with Italy on whether to issue "new crown epidemic euro bonds".
As the European epidemic intensifies, the European Central Bank and some European countries have called for the issuance of "new crown epidemic euro bonds" to help member countries overcome the crisis caused by the epidemic. In particular, countries with serious epidemics, such as Italy, hope to alleviate the economic pressure brought about by the epidemic.
On March 26, EU leaders held a video conference to discuss the European epidemic situation and economic relief measures. The leaders of 9 countries including France, Italy, and Spain jointly sent a letter to the President of the European Council calling for the issuance of the "new crown epidemic euro bond." But the meeting finally failed to reach an agreement on this. The statement after the meeting only stated that the EU 27 finance ministers need to spend another two weeks to discuss the details of the rescue plan.
