Only 1 UK and 1 French in there with 6 German, which I think shows up European economic realities very well.

I think they must have pulled those names out of a hat. ::)
I know of a couple of Australian banks which Im quite sure are in a much safer position than most of that list,but aren't even on it.

I'm not sure about all those German banks as didn't they lend lots of money to citizens in the PIIGS countries so they could afford to buy all those shiny new BMWs and other German goods. Have they been repaid yet? ::) ::) ::) ::)
