This must now be followed by closer budgetary monitoring, particularly given that fiscal stimulus measures, the economic downturn, and bank rescue plans will take a toll on public finances. The Stability and Growth Pact must remain the cornerstone of the EU’s budgetary framework, and effective surveillance and peer support will be vital to help member states work towards balanced budgets once the economy rebounds.
在这里，“欧洲经济复苏计划”的推出，-这是一个全欧盟范围的财政刺激方案，相当于1 .5％的国民生产总值，并在1 2月间得到了欧洲各国政府首脑的首肯-是向前迈进了一大步。这之后，现在必须要通过更密切的预算监督进行跟踪执行，特别是考虑到财政刺激措施、经济不景气和银行救援计划将动用公共财政的钱。必须坚持以“稳定和增长公约”作为欧盟预算框架的基石。一旦经济反弹，有效的监测和会员国之间的支持将会对帮助会员国努力实现预算平衡方面起到至关重要的作用，
