Eurozone leaders held a summit last week that was important, but not for the reasons you might think. What has been decided will change the future of Europe. The banking union is a tool so powerful that it could unite the core of the EU. But it will also separate it from the rest. It is more useful to think of the banking union as a long-term political project than as a tool of crisis resolution. Depending on your view, it can be monumental or irrelevant.
歐元區(qū)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人上周召開了一次峰會(huì)，這次會(huì)議很重要，但原因并非你們可能想象的那樣。會(huì)上做出的決定將改變歐洲的未來(lái)。銀行業(yè)聯(lián)盟是一個(gè)強(qiáng)大的工具，可能讓歐盟(EU)核心國(guó)家團(tuán)結(jié)起來(lái)，但它也會(huì)讓核心國(guó)家與其他國(guó)家離心。與其將這個(gè)銀行業(yè)聯(lián)盟視為一種危機(jī)解決工具，倒不如將其視為一項(xiàng)長(zhǎng)期政治項(xiàng)目更有用。它可能意義重大，也可能無(wú)關(guān)緊要，這取決于你們的見解。
