European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said he supported German plans to create a European commissioner with widespread powers over national budgets, in an interview with Spiegel published in English on October 29.
A fortnight ago, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble suggested the creation of a super-commissioner who would be “feared around the world.” This man would have the power to veto the budgets of eurozone nations and would be one of two EU commissioners authorized to act without the agreement of his colleagues.
