Unfortunately, when the outgoing president of the European Central Bank, Jean-Claude Trichet, proposed a step in this direction by suggesting that a “European Secretary of the Treasury” be created, heads of state and government dismissed the idea out of hand. Hardly anyone on the European Council seems willing even to acknowledge the depth of the EU crisis.
遗憾的是，即将卸任的欧洲央行行长让·克洛德·特里谢建议设立的“欧元区财长”一职遭到国家和政府首脑们不假思索的否决。欧洲理事会甚至几乎没有人愿意承认这场欧洲危机的深度。
