After the financial crisis had fully broken out in 2008 there were strong statements about the need for reforms. However, the official EU statements kept a lower profile from the beginning for several reasons. The existing structures and procedures have created a strong path dependency. This does not mean that there is no alternative. But it takes time to implement change and it is very difficult to make it real – at least as long as one does not want to give up democracy. This is why the crisis management in place is confined to muddling through.
