Interview With Les Echos, Corriere Della Sera, Handelsblatt And El Mundo: Interview With Christine Lagarde, President Of The ECB, Conducted By Dominique Seux, Federico Fubini, Thomas Hanke And Carlos Segovia, Published On 18 May 2020

The Franco-German proposals are ambitious, targeted and, of course, welcome. They pave the way for the European Commission to borrow funds over the long term and, above all, they allow a substantial amount of direct support to be provided to the countries most affected by the crisis. This is testament to the spirit of solidarity and responsibility the German Chancellor herself mentioned last week. There can’t be greater financial solidarity unless there is also greater coordination of decision-making at the European level.
