It is against this background that the budget plans submitted by eurozone governments on October 15 will have to be assessed. This requirement of the eurozone’s Stability and Growth Pact, specified by Article 126 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, applies to member states that fail to meet their commitments to bring their budget deficits below 3% of GDP.
在这样的背景下，10月15日递交的欧元区政府预算必须进行评估。欧元区稳定和增长契约（Stability and Growth Pact）的这一要求——具体内容见欧盟运作条约（Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union）第126条——适用于不能履行将预算赤字压在GDP的3%以下的承诺的成员国政府。
