Proposed Anglo-French Issue 1940
SPECIAL STAMP HISTORY Proposed Anglo-French Issue 1940 On 3 September 1939 France and Great Britain declared war upon Nazi Germany. In the following months an unprecedented degree of co-operation arose between the two countries on military, political and economic matters, which caused many hopeful observers to envisage an even closer union, extending beyond the war and drawing in other countries. The earliest recorded example of this enthusiasm seeking philatelic expression is that of M. Fernand Griffon, of Étables in Brittany who on 30 November 1939 wrote to both King George VI and President Albert Lebrun of France, suggesting a stamp for simultaneous release in both countries, either in separate languages and denominations, or, size permitting, combining both. The design would include a figure representing Peace and the legend ‘Notre But’ (Our Aim). He referred to bi-lingual stamps displaying the denomination in both local currencies issued in the Anglo-French Condominium of the New Hebrides from 1925 to 1938. M. Griffon's letter to President Lebrun was forwarded to the French Postal Administration, the PTT, who replied with a polite acknowledgement. His letter to King George VI was passed to the Foreign Office, who made no subsequent reply and, in fact, seem to have promptly mislaid it. Later, when the proposal had been taken up officially and was moving toward 1 fruition amidst wide public interest, M. Griffon wrote to various bodies, including the French Press, the PTT, the BBC and Buckingham Palace, in a vain attempt to win recognition as its originator. The initiative in fact came from M.

The Governance of a Fragile Eurozone Paul De Grauwe* No
The Governance of a Fragile Eurozone Paul De Grauwe* No. 346, May 2011 Abstract When entering a monetary union, member countries change the nature of their sovereign debt in a fundamental way, i.e. they cease to have control over the currency in which their debt is issued. As a result, financial markets can force these countries’ sovereigns into default. In this sense, member countries of a monetary union are downgraded to the status of emerging economies. This makes the monetary union fragile and vulnerable to changing market sentiments. It also makes it possible that self-fulfilling multiple equilibria arise. This paper analyzes the implications of this fragility for the governance of the eurozone. It concludes that the new governance structure – the European Stability Mechanism (ESM), which is intended to be successor starting in 2013 of the European Financial Stability Mechanism (EFSF), created in May 2010 – does not sufficiently recognize this fragility. Some of the features of the new financial assistance are likely to increase this fragility. In addition, it is also likely to present member countries from using the automatic stabilizers during a recession. This is surely a step backward in the long history of social progress in Europe. The author concludes by suggesting a different approach for dealing with these problems. * Paul De Grauwe is Professor of Economics at the University of Leuven and Senior Associate Research Fellow at CEPS.

Fordham International Law Journal is produced by The Berke- ley Electronic Press (bepress). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/ilj The Crisis Response in Europe’s Economic and Monetary Union: Overview of Legal Developments Rene´ Smits Abstract Writing about developments in Europe’s Economic and Monetary Union (“EMU”) at this juncture in time is a bold endeavour and a hazardous undertaking. ‘Bold’ because the devel- opments are manifold, highly technical in nature and deeply contested among the players and the public—between Greeks and Germans, between mainstream political parties and (emerging) parties taking a different view, and between politicians and the electorate. ‘Hazardous’ as devel- opments go so fast that these lines shall be partially outdated the moment they appear in published form. And yet, there is a need to explore and explain. That’s what this contribution seeks to do: to explore and explain the developments in EMU law. An occasional aside from the legal approach will be undertaken to broaden the perspective.
