LUXEMBOURG: Hanging in the bank balance
1 June 20091 Le Figaro Paris
The Cyprus crisis has shone a spotlight on the special tax status of the island in the eurozone. That status, though, is not very different from that of other European countries, like Luxembourg or the Channel Islands: aberrations that should purely and simply be abolished. 
It has the highest GDP per capita rate in the world - and the highest per capita external debt - and the lowest rate on the Happy Planet Index. Above all, it does not want that to change. A visit to the debt-ridden capital of European complacency. 
That’s not the way to save the euro, writes the Süddeutsche Zeitung. With their secretive meeting on the Greek crisis, EU finance ministers have gambled away the last confidence of EU citizens in their governments. This must have consequences. 
Many Europeans are looking abroad for help to end their lives, while more and more countries are allowing euthanasia. Is the penchant for death winning the battle against the right to life? asks the Polish weekly Wprost. 
Angela Merkel tells it like it is. That's the problem. Her plan to push through penalties for overindebted states at the 28 October European Council meeting is a good one, says Die Süddeutsche Zeitung. But it is also guaranteed to put the backs up of many members states, who will see an over-dominant Germany behind her good sense. 
Every year European royal families receive more and more public money, while the nature of their personal fortunes often remains a well-guarded secret. In the wake of controversy sparked by recent revelations about undisclosed assets belonging to the King of Belgium, Rzeczpospolita reports that the question of regal coffers and what they should contain is once again in the news.
Though the topic will not be on the agenda at the European Council meeting in Brussels starting 29 October, it’s bound to be on everyone’s mind. Who will be the next face of the EU? The voice that answers on that famed “single telephone number” that Henry Kissinger wanted, in vain, for Europe? The European press are placing their bets. 
Strengthened by Ireland’s ratification of the Lisbon Treaty, the European Union, it is argued, may now be on the verge of becoming a global superpower. The way to achieve this ambition, notes Gideon Rachman in the Financial Times, is in using the new platform that the G20 offers. 
Sold on the Web and in “smartshops” as herbs or incense, Spice is catching on among cannabis enthusiasts. It contains synthetic cannabinoids, which worries the European health watchdogs. But substances of this sort are difficult to detect and, consequently, to prohibit, notes Libération. 
An attack on banking secrecy launched from Berlin and Paris is forcing Luxembourg to rethink its policies. In the run-up to the European and general elections of June 7th, the people of the Grand Duchy are wondering how the prospect of change will affect their lives.
