Balance cost in Europe being reorganised (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

counterpoise

'balance' is the definition.
('counterpoise' can be a synonym of 'balance')

'cost in europe being reorganised' is the wordplay.
'being reorganised' is an anagram indicator.
'cost'+'in'+'europe'='costineurope'
'costineurope' anagrammed gives 'COUNTERPOISE'.

(Other definitions for counterpoise that I've seen before include "Offset" , "balance" , "Balancing factor" , "Weight balancing another" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
