SUERF Policy Note, No 11
SUERF Policy Note Issue No 11, March 2017 Completing the architecture of the Euro By Lorenzo Bini Smaghiˡ Abstract The paper shows that the lack of a complete institutional framework in the Eurozone is one of the reasons for the disappointing performance over the last few years. This in turn fuels dissatisfaction with the European institutions, because they are not delivering what people expect, leading them to think that we may need less Europe, rather than more Europe. We need to address this catch-22, by further working on a detailed design of a more complete institutional framework for the European Union and by pushing political authorities to be more courageous in implementing reforms. The publication of the book "Architects of the A complete union, with all the characteristics of a Euro" by Kenneth Dyson and Ivo Maes is a good political union could not be implemented, as we opportunity to take stock of the current state of saw with the Werner Plan.

The second concerns the environment in A good architect must take reality into account, which such a union is supposed to operate, what such as the force of gravity that he/she can we would call the political union. -
