Report of a FT interview with Jean-Claude Trichet, President of the European Central Bank, September 2010.

He said that Eurozone members that break the region's rules on public finances should be excluded temporarily from Europe’s political decision-making.

The controversial suggestion by Jean-Claude Trichet would be part of a 'quantum leap' in the governance of Europe’s 11-year old monetary union, needed to prevent a future Greece-style economic crisis.
