Let's set up this debate with two contrasting statements. First: Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor, who says "Leading nations should act together and show a signal of strength by tightening financial rules, the euro is in danger without strong action". And now the French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde, who says: "The euro is a solid and credible currency. I do not think it is in trouble." On Friday 21st, an economic task force set up by EU president Herman Van Rompuy will meet in Brussels
