Fragmenation nears! Der Spiegel searches for some truth behind EFSF rumours.
And once it is, there are, it would seem, several more questions to be addressed. European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso hinted as much during his state of the union speech on Wednesday morning.

Fragmentation, there's that word, used often on this blog to describe what will inevitably be the follow-up to the EU, read here.
