A Credible Strategy

This press release, regrettably bogus, came from the office of His Magnificence Hermann van Rompuy

PRESSE 140

Eurozone summit next weekend

Press Statement

It has been confirmed that a Eurozone summit will be held on April 1.

Due to inadvertant wording of the Treaty on Stability, Coordination & Governance, which refers to countries "whose currency is the euro", it has been confirmed that this summit will also include the heads of state or government of Montenegro, Kosovo, San Marino, Monaco, Andorra and the Vatican City, all of which use the euro.

The presence of His Holiness the Pope affords an opportunity to pray for divine intervention to save the euro. This is now seen as the most credible strategy.

Nice to think that someone there, at least, has a sense of humour.
