After an opening speech by António Vitorino, president of Notre Europe and member of the Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa group, and a brief presentation of the report by Henrik Enderlein, coordinator of the group, four members of the Padoa-Schioppa group (Henrik Enderlein, Jean Pisani-Ferry, Maria João Rodrigues and André Sapir) exchanged with the audience on a variety of topics.
The discussions were about the political handling of the crisis, the way of addressing EMU heterogeneities, the notion of banking union, the role that the ECB should play in the response to the crisis, the technical specificities of the European Debt Agency proposed by the group or the legal and institutional implications of an in-depth reform of the EMU.
