Olli Rehn, Member of the EC in charge of Economic and Monetary Affairs, attended the Eurogroup meeting on 6 December 2010. The discussions focused on economic governance.
Following the bailouts of Ireland and Greece, the Eurogroup agreed on details of the European Stability Mechanism, the rescue mechanism to help euro area Member States.
Jean-Claude Juncker, President of the Eurogroup, and Giulio Tremonti, Italian Minister for Economy and Finance, called for the creation of pan-European bonds to boost confidence in the euro, while Germany rejected the idea.
Ministers also discussed the increase of the euro area rescue fund.
