With the exception of what appears to be a covert effort to force EU countries to raise corporate taxes to French and German levels, there is ostensibly nothing unreasonable in the Competitiveness Pact. Raising the retirement age to 67, abolishing wage indexation, and compelling countries to enshrine a debt brake in their national constitutions are reasonable measures to enhance competitiveness and restore confidence in the euro.
除了暗中想将欧盟各国企业税项提高到法德水平之外，这份《协议》大体上并无任何不妥之处。将退休年龄提高到67岁，废除工资指数化制度（雇员货币工资随物价指数浮动并按照价格指数自动调节收入的制度），以及强迫各国将负债上限写入宪法等措施都是有道理的，既能提升竞争力，又有助于维持欧元的信誉。
