the formation of a new currency zone in europe ?

“Bloomberg has suggested that, if the Greek and Irish bailouts should fail, an alternative is for Germany to leave the eurozone in order to save the currency through depreciation[175] instead of austerity. The Wall Street Journal conjectures that Germany could return to the Deutsche Mark,[176] or create another currency union[177] with the Netherlands, Austria, Finland, Luxembourg and other European countries that have a positive current account balance, such as Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and the Baltics.[178] A monetary union of the mentioned current account surplus countries would create the world’s largest creditor bloc that is bigger than China[179] or Japan.”- After reading this i have a question, is there a possibility of a new european union. a separate currency zone of the following countries will make a much more prosperous and powerful economic entity. the baltics and finland should be excluded as they are too far away from germany but the union of the other countries could make something special. it would bring these nations closer and one day it could also result in one common country. it will be good for them and for the rest of europe as it will remove the trade imbalance if france was to run the rest. is the formation of such a union feasible in the next 20 years ??? judging by the frequent econmic collapses in europe ??? all these countries also have a common Germanic background

    I’m sure something like this is already being considered behind very tightly closed doors. Originally the Mediterranean countries were included in the Euro not because they met the economic requierements but because of historical and political reasons and we are now paying the price.

    A new monetary union of the said countries would form a very strong economic force, since all of the countries are highly competetive.
    (2011 – 2012 Global economic competetiveness index: Switzerland #1, Sweden #3, Finland #4, Germany #6, The Netherlands #7, Denmark #8, Norway #16, Austria #19, Luxembourg #23)
    They are also all running a positive trade balance, which means they can support their economies, despite their debts.
    Also, why leave out Finland and Baltics? In what sense are they too far from Germany?

    The REAL plan is for a global cashless currency as part of the agenda for world government. The Euro was merely an intermediate phase towards this.

    Something very sinister is afoot.Things are how they are been presented in the Mainstream media.
