If Von Rompuy becomes Euro Zone President - Can the non-Euro 10 get shot of him?

Another example of how the EU is never content to stay within the already ratified EU Treaties, again raises its head today. This time EurActiv reports, that EU Council President Herman Von Rompuy, may take on the "undefined role" of Euro Zone President or even Euro Group Head of State!

No facility exists within the existing Treaties for either such positions, so would the remaining ten, non-eurozone ex-states have to continue to pay his salary as EU Council President, if so let's be rid of him NOW once and for all!

As I posted regarding the abuses of the EFSM, this time yesterday, the conflicts between the Euro and non-Euro members are all ready becoming severe enough as it is! Any individual would therefore find it impossible to remain independent and equitably fill both posts, never mind the lacklustre Von Rompuy.

As the list of bailout applicants slowly rises, Spain and Italy are now clearly also waiting in the wings, should the Euro Group not have a President for both the bailed-out and the dwindling band of "so-far-not yet bailed-outers"?  As Von Rompuy is a Belgian Citizen (should such continue to be anything other than a versyshort term entity,) and given the economic state of Belgium, which of two such roles should Rompuy most realistically fill?

Although, as far as I know at least as I type this, Cyprus has yet to officially hold out the begging bowl to the EFSF, although it must now be getting very close, as reported in the Vancouver Sun, read here there are  3 defaulters vs 14 non-defaulters as we count today.  After Austria, Belgium, Cyprus,  Italy and Spain, go for bailouts that would quickly become 8 vs 9, surely Finland would then pick up its ball and go home, leaving a potential stand-off?

Non-Euro Group Finance Ministers must convene URGENTLY

The Euro Group of Finance Minister regularly gathers in accordance with the Lisbon Treaty, and will no doubt do so again as a matter of great urgency.

In the warped thinking of the adherents to the concepts of the European Union, members of the EU not part of the common currency have no reason to meet, convene, gather or discuss as they are committed by Treaty to disband their currencies and eventually to ALL, even Britain, join the Euro.

In the real world, where the chances of the euro even being in full existence this time next year get slimmer with each passing day, is it not time for the Finance Ministers of the currencies outside the Euro Group to meet and discuss how they will cope with the crisis which will follow the euro's disintegration and how best they can protect their own currencies and their citizen's well-being, if not prosperity, in the aftermath of the ensuing worldwide currency chaos.

It would be possible to argue that as the Euro Group utilise common EU facilities for their gatherings (even though the purposes of their meetings increasingly concentrate on the promotion of the interests of the 16 at the expense of the 11) the Non-Euro Group should similarly be able to call upon the same arrangements, in my view that would be a great mistake. It will not be just countries in the EU who will bear the consequences of the euro's collapse, the whole world will be affected, but Europe will be sure to be under the greatest imperilment. The two largest of the last remaining Democracies in Europe should also therefore be included, here I have in mind  Switzerland and Norway, whose strong currencies if part of any emergency procedures will add considerable weight to whatever may be agreed and eventually put in place.
