Tell me where's all the harmony and common interest the EU was supposed to be about? I must say I was always of the opinion that keeping everyone working to the common good and living within the same rules was hard within a family, let alone when extrapolated to so many nations as diverse as those now found within the EU.

This seems more like a general problem with the Euro and the EU. I agree to an extent this level of bitterness and anger is not healthy and that the Euro has been poorly implemented and some countries shouldn't have been admitted. I don't think it's something which has to be invertible though. They need to reform the currency and not allow such things to happen again, a more unified economic policy across the union would be needed.
However that doesn't help the current situation in which something needed to be done.

Hang on Russia might be doing something, in the form of changing the terms of an existing loan.
