The longer the crisis continues, the more obvious it becomes that the common currency and the ECB alone are not enough to defend the Common Market and European integration. Without common economic and financial policies, coordinated at least between the members of the euro zone, the cohesion of the common currency and the EU – indeed, their very existence – are in unprecedented danger.
这场危机持续的时间越长，越变得明显的是，仅靠统一的货币和欧洲央行是不足以维护共同市场和欧洲一体化的。没有至少在欧元区成员国之间协调的共同的经济和金融政策，那么共同货币和欧盟的凝聚力-事实上，这两者本身的存在-也会陷入前所未有的危险境地。可以肯定的是，这场危机已捆住了世界各国的手脚。但在欧盟和欧元区内有明显的差异和经济上的不平衡，例如，这反映在越来越多的利率冲突上。
