The European Commission’s recent proposals amount to a relaxation of its earlier hard-line stance, providing a catalogue of ways in which the fiscal rules can be made more flexible. But it is difficult to see how this hodge-podge will “strengthen economic governance” or clarify the Pact’s implementation.
最近欧盟委员会提出的议案对以前强硬的立场做出了缓和，提出了可以适当放宽预算规则的几种情况。但很难指望这些五花八门的新规定真能“加强经济管理”或明确《协议》的执行规则。
