EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT PRESIDENT JERZY BUZEK


To:               The Right Honorable European Parliament President Jerzy Buzek

From:            Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja

RE:               Eurobonds

Suggestions:  

Good morning President. German Chancellor Angela Merkel insisting that introducing Euro-zone wide government bonds wouldn’t solve the current debt crisis but I kept on insisting introducing Eurobonds will solve the current debt crisis since June 2011. I also wrote to Spiegel Online in the month of June 2011, saying that Europe should move to the Eurobond fund, guarantee AAA rated Euro-zone countries will not pay any higher rates then they do now, if they want to borrow, by allowing them to take the difference out of the fund while other European countries such as PIIGS would borrow at the normal rate likely around 4% allowing them lower rates than normal and AAA rated countries the same rates they receive now. Putting in Eurobonds to try to reduce the interest pressure on PIIGS borrowing would solve the underlying problem. I believe this is to be the best option.

Mr. President, individual countries would not really be able to issue Eurobonds. That would make them even more dependent on creditworthy members like Germany and France. For instance, when I buy Eurobonds, I don’t worry or care about the public finances of individual EU states. In addition I’ll have no longer deal with individual countries.   I want European Union to be integrated enough to issue Eurobonds but Germany do not want to really integrate. Germany has benefited from the EU. Germany has benefited from the Euro. German exporters have enjoyed boon from the common currency. Indeed Germany wants to continue the European projects. Germany will have to negotiate some sort of transfer union that would involve Eurobonds and some form of European economic governance. Germany has to understand that PIIGS countries cannot leave the Euro. The cost would be far too high for them and their currency would devalue wiping clean all middle class savings.

Mr. President, Eurobonds would be underwritten by not Germany but the central fiscal institution in Brussels. I hope that you’ll start issuing Eurobonds to resolve the current debt crisis.

Thank you very much for your kind attention Mr. President.

Sincerely,

Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja.

INDIA'S FARM BILL 2020

To:     The Right Hon. Indian Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi   From: Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja Date: February 15, 2021 RE:     India’s Farm Bills 2020 Suggestion: Hon. Prime Minister, let me start paying my respects to you and through you to. India’s farm reforms have been advocated for many decades by the Indian farm economists. In fact, I’m strongly in the favour of the farm reforms when I was in Indian financial market 2007. The farm laws are very good in intent and end ecologically unsound practices. Farm law needs to be welcomed as farm laws are free market laws which allow private players to directly purchase agriculture products from farmers. In other words, farm law eliminates middlemen and gives the right to farmers to sell their agriculture products to whoever they want and they could decide the price but your government proposal on farm laws which fear that it refrain small farmers have freedom to negotiate to...

SUGGESTION TO THE PRIME MINISTER OF JAPAN YOSHIHIKO NODA

SUGGESTION TO THE PRIME MINISTER OF JAPAN YOSHIHIKO NODA To: The Right Honorable Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda From: Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja Date: 30.09.2011 RE: Japan Energy Policy Suggestion: Changing Industrial Policy Good Morning Prime Minister. BBC World broadcasted your speech regarding alternate energy sources. I agree with your approach to reduce nuclear power in the medium term because having the nuclear reactors in an earthquake prone zone is not safe for the environment or the communities that live near them. Japan is struck in a difficult situation concerning energy. If you want to eventually move away from the nuclear energy, you’ll have to invest more alternative energy sources. If you can’t invest, then it may have to say with a nuclear power for a while. You need make the right decision because source of energy is dwindling. You have one more option which is Japanese people depend on nuclear power with only 1% but 9% including hydroe...
