News comments:
The Euro has failed because the participating countries ignored the fiscal rules.

So we are hearing, as fintag predicted, the Euro is to be split into a Euro A and a Euro B.

Euro A countries will be restricted in their abilities to tax and spend and if targets are breached they will be relegated to Euro B status.

Euro B countries will be given 3 years to "get their acts together". If they do, they become Euro A again. If they fail, they will have to leave the Euro.

Seems reasonable. Seems inevitable.
