This management structure is neither democratically legitimate nor justified by its performance (which appears to consist of mere reactions to pressure from financial markets). Indeed, some estimate that, by 2050, Europe will produce only 10% of the world’s GDP, and will comprise just 7% of its population.
这套管理结构既缺乏民主合理性，也没有取得令人信服的业绩（这套体系似乎仅仅对来自金融市场的压力被动做出反应）。事实上，有人估算到2050年，欧洲将仅占全球GDP的10%和全世界人口的7%。届时，即使德国在全球经济中的地位都已经无足轻重，更不用说其他欧洲经济体。
