These demand urgent and decisive action, both at the national and supranational level, in order to revive trust in a European project that has already provided important benefits to its members over the years. Benoit Coeuré, Executive Board member of the ECB, expressed these views in a speech entitled “Having Confidence in Europe” delivered during a conference held in Rome on 26 September.
