‘Will the euro crisis kill the single market?’
12th April, 2013
London, UK
‘Europe at Crossroads’ Project implemented by the collaboration of European Council on Foreign Relations, the LSE European Institute and the European Commission Representation in the UK Project organizes an event on 22th of April titled‘Will the euro crisis kill the single market?’ with the participation of Shahin Vallée, Economic Adviser to President Herman Van Rompuy, European Council; Sebastian Dullien, Senior Policy Fellow, ECFR; Waltraud Schelkle, Senior Lecturer in Political Economy, LSE; Chaired by Simon Nixon, European editor, Heard on the Street, Wall Street Journal.
The euro crisis is threatening not only Europe’s common currency, but also the single market. Already, the euro crisis is fragmenting credit markets at national borders and transnational supply chains are breaking. Moreover, as the eurozone moves ahead with further integration measures, such as the single supervisory mechanism, discontent with the European Union is growing in non-euro countries such as Britain. This dissatisfaction increases the likelihood of a multi speed Europe but also the risk of an exit from the EU, which would weaken the single market significantly.
The panel will discuss the impact of the recent crisis developments on Europe’s single market, how new integration initiatives alter the cost and benefits for euro-out countries such as Britain and the risks and chances ahead.
Venue: ECFR office, 3rd Floor Conference Room, 35 Old Queen Street, London SW1H 9JA
