EU Weighs Weakening of Euro Rules

EU Weighs Weakening of Euro Rules to Satisfy France, Germany Demands for More Slack
BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) -- European Union finance ministers struggled Sunday with plans to reform the rules underpinning the stability of the euro, debating ideas that go far in meeting German and French demands for room to spend their way out of economic problems.

Negotiations to reform the euro's "Stability and Growth Pact" -- while retaining its key requirement that a euro-zone nation's annual budget deficit cannot exceed 3 percent of gross domestic product -- have been deadlocked for months.
Officials reported no progress after six hours of discussions Sunday and said the meeting would run late into the night.
"We are in tough negotiations, but do not exclude an agreement," a German diplomat said, asking not to be named.
A key hurdle was Berlin's long-standing demand that its huge German unification payments be considered a valid reason for violating the stability pact's austerity rules. The Netherlands and others opposed that, officials said on condition of anonymity.
Austrian Finance Minister Karl-Heinz Grasser -- who ardently opposes a weakening of euro rules -- described the latest ideas for reform as a "huge joke."
The latest proposals, contained in a 19-page report drafted by Luxembourg Premier Jean-Claude Juncker, whose country now holds the rotating EU presidency, went a long way to satisfy demands by Germany, France and Italy for a less strict application of the rules that underpin the euro's stability.
Juncker said he proposed a "strengthening and clarifying" of the euro rules' application by the European Commission. Berlin, Paris, Rome and some other capitals have complained the Commission has been heavy-handed and inflexible in that so far.
Juncker proposed that any country exceeding the 3 percent budget norm invoke its own reasons as to why it should be allowed to violate the rules. The suggestion replaced a contentious list of 16 specific reasons to escape a sanction. Germany found that list too bureaucratic; others found it too broad
Any country exceeding the limit would get a four-year grace period to comply with any sanctions. But due to how the euro rules would be enforced, violators would effectively get five years before having to come into line with euro rules.
Slovak Finance Minister Ivan Miklos said he sought "clarification of the whole package." His country has been wary of easing the euro rules. German Finance Minister Hans Eichel said he was "ready to compromise."
But Grasser objected to a proposal that governments be given "special consideration" if they exceed the deficit norm when they spend on projects "fostering international solidarity" or that aim to achieve "European policy goals." He called that "a carte blanche" to spend public funds.
In addition to credit for its post-Cold War reunification bill, Germany also wants to use its contributions to the EU budget -- of which it pays 22 percent -- as a mitigating circumstance. France wants to use its spending on research and defense as an excuse to break the 3 percent norm.
Grasser told reporters that being lenient on Berlin because of German unification spending would turn the stability pact "into a huge joke."
If the finance ministers fail to agree, the issue of reforming the stability pact rules written in the late 1990s will go to the 25 EU leaders, who open a two-day summit in Brussels on Tuesday.
Euro reform negotiations began in September. From the start, the Netherlands, Sweden, Austria, Slovakia, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have resisted a significant weakening of the stability pact, while Germany and France have said they need to use public funds to stoke growth, even if it means making the 3 percent rule meaningless.
Complicating matters is the fear that rewriting the euro rules will give the European Commission a bigger role in monitoring compliance. Increasingly, national capitals want the EU not to meddle in national economic policymaking.
The euro is the common currency of 12 EU nations: France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Ireland, Austria, Finland and Greece.
Since it came into circulation in 2002, France and Germany have repeatedly violated the 3 percent of GDP rule, but resisted sanctions from the European Commission by rallying support from other countries that the Stability and Growth Pact must not be interpreted too strictly.
füx
zum träumen von mir. gggg
ich werde jetzt mal parallel, eine andere Einstellung(still u heimlich) mitlaufen lassen.D.h. dass ich die intergrierte(automatische) signale an lasse die ich eingestellt habe.
Es wird eine etwas(von mir) feinere Daily-Einstellung sein.Warum? Weil es früher und genauere Signale liefert, als Daily selbst.
Es wir so zusagen mindestens 2Candeles pro Tag geben und das als HeikinAshi candele.
Auch warum? Weil hier ähnlich wie bei Renko die hektische Bewegungen gefiltert werden.
Ich werde darauf achten dass sich nicht nur ein signal meldet.
Ich weiss das hier einige neugierige nur mitlesen, auch Emis. Ich habe hiermit ja noch keine Strategie oderso verraten, weil um danach zu handeln wird es noch das eine oder andere Bestätigungs Indiz und Technikwerkzeug benötigen. Es soll aber nicht zuviel wieder hinein interpretiert werden um wiederum die Komlpexität zu vermeiden.
Und welche signale die hier sichtbar sind und welche einstellungen ich habe steht ja nicht im chart.
Mal schauen, vielleicht werde ich hin u wieder was davon reinstellen.
Will damit auch mal testen, wie es sich verhält wenn, oder ob man ruhiger mit weiten scheinen und STUR nach den Signalen zum Ziel kommt.
Habe es schon mal vor längeren Zeit angefangen, aber dann aus Pflege u Zeitgründen nicht mehr weiter verfolgt.
Und weil ich wenig Zeit habe ist es viielleicht (für mich,vielleicht auch den einen oder anderen) ein Mittel zum zweck.
In diesem Sinne wünsche ich euch
wohl zu ruhen,
und nicht den Träumen drohen :-))))
