The leader of Germany’s centre-left Social Democrats said on Friday (12 January) he expects the European Union to have a finance minister to oversee financial issues in the bloc, writes Gernot Heller.

The remarks by Martin Schulz (pictured) to German broadcaster ZDF came hours after his party agreed a blueprint for negotiations with Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservatives on forming a coalition government.

“The paper is a turnaround for European politics,” Schulz said, referring to a pledge made by the parties to work closely with French President Emmanuel Macron on his ambitious EU reform proposals. “There will be a European finance minister.”
