Probably is. Just let the whole lot crumble into the same bucket of shite!

Lose the "peg" concerns. A few richer ones in with favourable conditions...in return...you pay for PIIGieS!
mate .. even now.. the small east European countries left outside EU are facing a tough trading rules and high standards.. so, they have to adopt or no trade.

There is no other solution as both Russia and US lost an interest in other countries; where only EU covers the rest of European territory.. as a territories or states.. so really

it is a matter of time..

1:02 PM Mohamed El-Erian suggests a "smaller and less imperfect" monetary union, and calls for leaders to create an "off ramp," to allow exiting eurozone members to remain in the EU. Increasingly clear, not just in Athens, but in capitals across the continent, is a power shift from politicians to angry populations.

    11:56 AM As cheeky traders flirt with the SNB's 1.20 floor on the euro/Swiss franc cross (driving it to CHF 1.2009), central bank chief Jordan tells an audience the franc remains "clearly overvalued." His remarks, however, fail to budge the pair. FXF -0.6%

  1. 9:13 AM Der Spiegel lays out in some detail - likely leaked from a German finmin task force - the mechanics of Greece's exit from the euro, including police posted behind sandbags to protect the banks, which would be closed for a week while drachmas are printed and distributed. The EU would still continue to provide assistance to the country, even as its institutions face huge losses on their Greek holdings. 2 Comments
  2. FXE, EU
    8:53 AM Already down on the day, the euro tumbles further as European Commission VP Almunia says the ECB has room to maneuver. He also suggests the EU move towards "debt mutualization." The euro is buying $1.2836, it's lowest level since January. FXE -0.6% premarket.
