- "In 2012 the eurozone agreed to create a banking union. Big banks would be supervised by a central authority, rather than by national regulators.

- The eurozone also embarked on an ambitious programme to harmonise capital markets and reduce dependency on banks.
- But both the banking and capital markets union depend on fiscal union - and that remains incomplete and contentious."
