> Euro-Area Head of Finance Ministers Jean-Claude Juncker on broader oversight of national economies: The euro-group should pursue broader economic surveillance, notably as regards competitiveness and macroeconomic imbalancesThe European Commission should not hesitate to warn governments should they risk jeopardizing the proper functioning of the economic and monetary unionThe eurogroup should have a frank discussion with the member state concerned with a view to ensuring that effective action is taken.

> International Monetary Fund Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn: The best indicator [for the timing of exit strategies] is private demand and employment In most countries, growth is still supported by government policies. For as long as you do not have private demand strong enough to offset the need of public policy, you shouldnt exit.
