І яшчэ адзін вельмі цікавы тэкст у аўтарытэтным
Der Speigel па апошняму гістарычнаму (ва ўсіх сэнсах) саміту ЕС, згаданаму ў папярэднім артыкуле, што расставіў многія кропкі над "і" і выкрыў шматлікія міфалагемы пра Нямеччыну Меркель як "рухавік інтэграцыі". Выявілася, што гэта як раз адзін з шматлікіх тармазоў на шляху кансалідацыі Еўропы ў эфектыўны палітычны хаўрус. Нечакана выглядае, што "еўракратыя", на якую гэтак любяць каціць усе бочкі і абвінавачваць ва ўсіх грахах чалавецтва, высунала цалкам аб'ектыўны і жыццёва неабходны для ўсёй Еўропы праект, які ўшчэнт зразаюць карумпаваныя нацыянальныя палітычныя і эканамічныя эліты, не жадаючы "дзяліцца ўладай" нават ва ўмовах крызісу, які ёсць непасрэдным вынікам іх уласнай шматгадовай палітыкі.
Behind the Scenes in Brussels
EU Summit Reveals a Paralyzed Continent

SPIEGEL has reconstructed the negotiations at the most recent meeting in Brussels in December based on documents and accounts given by numerous sources. It was a summit of hopelessness. The haggling is in full swing at this hour -- North against South, rich countries against poor ones, German Chancellor Angela Merkel against French President François Hollande. They're stuck on a word, one that would normally have a beautiful, positive sound: common. The word "common" is dividing Europe. This is what it has come to in this night of hard-fought negotiations.
For more than six hours now, the leaders of the European Union have been meeting in Brussels to discuss the future. They are here to agree on a document, and according to item 12 of that paper, there is to be a "common backstop" for the new banking union, a sort of shared resolution fund for worst-case scenarios also referred to more technically as a "shock absorption capacity."
Germany wants the word "common" deleted. So do Sweden, Finland, Denmark and the Netherlands. France wants to keep the word in the document, as do Italy, Spain and Portugal. The northern countries are afraid that they'll be asked to pay even more than they already do, while the south is hoping for more shared responsibility in the crisis. The dispute continues for three-quarters of an hour. The northern countries win the fight and the word "common" is stricken from the closing statement of the most recent EU summit.
This happened on Dec. 13 and 14, during a meeting of the European Council, the powerful EU body consisting of all 27 heads of state and government. They meet behind closed doors, and not even their closest staff members are allowed to attend. During these discussions, secrecy is normally paramount. But as of the last one, that no longer applies.
Months ago, SPIEGEL began opening the doors to this summit. A team of six reporters traveled to European capitals to find sources for a reconstruction of the December meeting. As a result, they were able to obtain reports on the negotiations, during and after the summit, from almost a dozen sources. The reports make it possible to accurately recount the events that unfolded...
