Kirkegaard, Jacob.
Sometimes old promises come in handy. European Union Commissioner Olli Rehn must be pleased that back in June he promised to prepare a “feasibility study” before the end of the year on the topic du jour in Europe, namely eurobonds.1 As the European Commission will soon forcefully wade into Europe’s imminent and far-reaching debate about eurobonds, Commissioner Rehn can deny charges that the study was foisted on Europe by “elitist Brussels-based bureaucratic policy opportunism.” Instead he can just refer to his old commitments to elected EU parliamentarians.
