Summary
Cyprus' Finance Minister Makis Keravnos warns that the formation of a "E6" breakout group among the six largest EU economies (France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and others) signals a potential split within the European Union. His warning comes ahead of a crucial meeting of EU finance ministers in Berlin, where tensions between larger and smaller member states over economic governance and fiscal policy are expected to surface. Keravnos expresses concern that such an inner circle could marginalize smaller member states and undermine the EU's unity and collective decision-making.
