The likely outcome – in typical European, consensus-driven fashion – will be to forgo deadlines and concrete targets in favor of an ambiguous, open-ended pledge to undertake further pension reform. Similar exceptions will probably be made for other countries that cannot reconcile aspects of the new pact with their national circumstances.
对此可能产生的后果——在一个以达成共识为目标的典型欧洲做派下——就是放弃对限期以及明确目标的坚持，转而发表一个含糊不清且不设期限的养老金改革承诺。而类似的例外也将出现在那些无法使《协议》要求与本国情况相一致的国家身上。例如比利时就一心要实行自动工资指数化制度。随着每个国家都选择性地拒绝某些条文，这份《协议》的目标将最终被极大弱化以确保获得通过，自然也无法奢望能取得多少实质性成果了。
