What's more, 2012 looks set to be not much different. But as eurozone governments hammer out new rules to limit their borrowing, are they missing the point of the crisis?<br /> <br /> * The eurozone has agreed a new &quot;fiscal compact&quot;<br /> * Eurozone leaders have agreed to a tough set of rules - insisted on by Germany - that will limit their governments' &quot;structural&quot; borrowing (that is, excluding any extra borrowing due to a recession) to just 0.5% of their economies' output each year. It will also limit their total borrowing to 3%. These rules are supposed to stop them accumulating too much debt, and make sure there won't be another financial crisis.<br /> * But didn't they already agree to this back in the '90s?<br /> * Hang on a minute. They agreed to exactly the same 3% borrowing limit back in 1997, when the euro was being set up. The &quot;stability and growth pact&quot; was insisted on by German finance minister Theo Waigel (centre of image). What happened?<br /> * So who kept to the rules?</div>
