British MEP Graham Watson, vice-president of the European liberal-democrat party ELDR, talks to EUX.TV’s Raymond Frenken at the December 2010 EU Summit. Watson said he supports the idea of creating Eurobonds as a way for Europe to finance investments in public infrastructures of a pan-European nature. Watson disagrees with the view held by German Chancellor Angela Merkel that Eurobonds can potentially import economic weakness to strong eurozone countries like Germany. “Angela Merkel is in danger of being seen as disloyal by some of the other heads of state and government,” Watson said.

Bronislow Geremek, a Polish liberal, was once named as a possible president of the European Parliament, but that did not happen because of some behind-the-scenes deals between the EPP group (which includes the Christian-democrats and the British conservatives) and the PSE group (the European socialists and social-democrats).

Geremek was killed in a car crash in Poland in 2008 and now has been honored by having the main courtyard at the European parliament in Strasbourg named after him.
