Commentary feature which begins 'For two years momentum has been building for a German – Axel Weber, the Bundesbank president – to become the next head of the European Central Bank when Frenchman Jean-Claude Trichet retires in the autumn of 2011. The idea is a thoroughly bad one. It is time for Germany, the strongest country in the eurozone, to say it will not field its own candidate, and make way for a nominee from a smaller state'.
