For example, Germany recently proposed that expenditures undertaken to meet European commitments – such as Rampamp;D spending to support the Lisbon agenda of enhanced productivity – be exempted. The problem is that allowing public investment to be financed by borrowing would lead to continuing disputes between the Commission and individual member states, because it relies excessively on that blurred distinction.
但把某些公共开销从赤字中排除出去是与合理执行预算政策相违悖的。举例来讲，德国不久前提出把实现欧洲共同目标的开支－比如支持生产率提高的里斯本议程所需的研发经费从赤字中排除出去。但问题在于允许以借贷的方式进行公共投资会导致委员会和各个成员国之间矛盾不断，因为这种做法过多地有赖于本已模糊的界线。
