There may be some justification for each EMU state to be represented in the G-8, but not in the main economic organizations. If they volunteered to act collectively at these forums, Europe would free up much-needed space for other important countries at the top table of world economic discussions, which would foster greater respect for global policymakers.
特别是欧洲经济与货币联盟的成员国更应该放弃它们在G-7和国际货币基金组织的席位。欧洲货币联盟的每一个成员国都在G-8现身或许还讲得通，但在主要的经济组织中却不然。如果它们自愿在这些论坛中统一行动，那么欧洲就能在最高级别的国际经济讨论中为其他重要的国家腾出必要的空间，而此举将会赢得全球政策制定者们的更多尊敬。
