The idea behind grouping them is that all those "european countries" can act as one through EU coordination. So it makes no sense to separate them when talking about negotiating power.

It doesn't miss me that this is the desire or intent of this communication, I guess for me it raises all kinds of questions like:

are all the European countries collectively holding that $8 trillion figure in the EU?
what ability does the EU have to actually determine the debts that EU member states take on?
what alternative to US bonds does the EU have for stable liquid assets?

That said, I support the EU on this - I hope they figure it out!
