It is this history that makes the current moves to sideline the European Commission in enforcing the Competitiveness Pact suspicious. Organized purely as an intergovernmental policy program, the pact cannot work, because EU member states cannot be trusted to monitor their own performance and enforce sanctions on their peers – or on themselves.
正是过去这段历史令人们对欧盟委员会贯彻《竞争力协议》的可能性充满了怀疑。单纯作为一项国际间政策项目的《协议》是无法取得成果的，因为你既无法依靠欧盟国家来监督自身的表现，也无力借助他们对其他盟国（及其自身）实施制裁。
