Attacks in Belgium

please note:

There are some remarks regarding the attacks in Paris and also the more recent mass killings in Brussels.

Since the publisher of EZR is only human and already was fed up with flaws in EU security at the time the attacks in Paris took place, those blog entries are not like:


, but rather in the spirit of:

On the other hand: Don't worry - they just contain harsh, but factual criticism of flawed law enforcement practices, the unwitting elements of the political establishment and recommendations how to improve our response to the terrorist threat.

The economics of currency unions by Mark Carney/BoE

A referendum whether or not they will remain a part of the UK or to become an independent state will be held on Sept 14th 2014 (Wikipedia)

There are others who don't share this view: Scottish independence: Osborne and Alexander dismiss SNP currency plan (BBC, Apr 13th 2013)

The new governor of the Bank of England held a speech outlining what is necessary to form a successful currency area. He draws some conclusions from shortcomings of the euro area and what is needed to avoid a repetition of those mistakes.
From the principles of an optimum currency area (OCA) to details of banking union including SSM,SRM. Certainly worth reading/viewing:
