Cutting Eurostat to Pieces
Monday, 21 November 2011 | Peter Lindmark
The present writer took up his Eurostat post in March 1991, right after Desert Shield. He was told then that Eurostat "had no right" to publish economic analyses and those instructions were repeated from time to time ever since. No Eurostat publication that he has seen contained any fruits of the officially forbidden research.

Autumn forecast 2011-13: Growth at a standstill
Thursday, 10 November 2011 | Peter Lindmark
Commission Vice-President for Economic and Monetary Affairs Olli Rehn said: "Growth has stalled in Europe, and there is a risk of a new recession. While jobs are increasing in some member states, no real improvement is forecast in the unemployment situation in the EU as a whole. The key for the resumption of growth and job creation is restoring confidence in fiscal sustainability and in the financial system and speeding up reforms to enhance Europe's growth potential. There is a broad consensus on the necessary policy action. What we need now is unwavering implementation. On my part, I will start using the new rules of economic governance from Day one."

Friday, 16 September 2011 | European Affairs
Eurogroup chief Jean-Claude Juncker has been out of the spotlight recently. However behind the scenes discussions are going on to find Juncker’s replacement as the group’s head. It is now certain his reign will come to an end when his term expires in January.
And so begins the debate as to exactly who will replace him. German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble has already been mentioned as a possible successor. Schäuble however, rejected the claims as simply rumours.
