EU banks on insiders to fix the financial crisis

As I just said in German, a new report from CEO, SpinWatch, Friends of the Earth Europe and LobbyControl takes a look at the members of the High Level Group on the financial crisis set up by the Council and the Commission to write recommendations for a response to the crisis. The report finds the composition to be a clear example of corporate capture. Of the eight men in the group, four are closely linked to financial giants like Goldman Sachs and bankrupt Lehman Brothers, a fifth was responsible for UK Financial Services Authority whose supervision of British bank Northern Rock failed miserably.
