    The jackboot has landed, softly.
    https://curia.europa.eu/jcms/upload/docs/application/pdf/2017-09/cp170091en.pdf
    ECJ backs the Franco German migrant relocation plan. But the program was only valid up until Sept 26th 2017. So the various countries that have refused to cooperate can sit back and simply say "we'll wait and see what happens".

    Merkel can claim vindication, while waiting a week or two for it to quietly expire.
    The big question is, will they try it again?
    Perhaps everyone involved has learned something, and nobody will want to revisit that particular dispute again for a while.

    Looks like Ireland could be next in firing line.
    France and Germany are working on plans to harmonise corporate tax rates across the eurozone.
    "The objective is a common corporate tax with Germany in 2018 which should be the basis for a harmonisation at the level of the 19 member states of the eurozone."
    I hear the sound of a whip cracking. Its distant, but distinct.

    the tax rate is pretty irrelevant. Its the very clear intention to clamp down on tax evasion schemes that will have the desired effect.

    As the current President of the european commission is responsible for creating one of these schemes in Luxembourg though, I can't see this being easy for Germany and France.

    The leader of the FDP, the Liberal party in Germany who are expected to form a coalition with Merkel, has said that the "euro" policy has to become stricter & no help given, referring to the financial struggles of France & Italy.
    Selfishness continues in "the family" of nations & "joined" currency.

    I'm not sure Ireland, Portugal or Spain who had to bite the bullet wouldn't be supporting the FDP's position.
