‘I don’t know if it suits everyone!’ On 24 February 2011, French cartoonist Frédéric Deligne paints an ironic picture of the ‘competitiveness pact’ proposed by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, which aims to implement ambitious structural reforms in the economies of the euro zone countries. Germany, which sees itself as the main contributor to the European bailout plans, wants the more fragile states in the euro zone to commit to thorough economic reforms. Backed up by French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Germany now needs to convince the other countries in the euro zone.
