For example, by refusing to sign the fiscal compact, which imposes stricter controls on national spending in the eurozone, the UK has forced the arrangement to operate outside EU mechanisms. The UK’s rationale for its refusal – that no protocol was included in the treaty exempting the financial sector from certain regulations – suggests that similar outcomes can be expected in future negotiations.
比如，英国拒绝签署向欧元区国家施加更严格国民支持控制的财政契约，迫使这一安排在欧盟机制之外实行。英国的拒绝理由——条约没有包括让金融部门免于某些监管的协议——表明，后续谈判也可能出现类似结果。
