The next step was the fiscal plan that was agreed in Brussels at the end of last year, which completely abandoned the idea of a transfer union in favor of an agreement that each eurozone country would balance its budget. Under this scheme, a financial penalty would “automatically” be imposed on any country that violated that obligation.
接着出现的是去年年底在布鲁塞尔达成一致的财政计划，该计划完全抛弃了转移联盟的观点，转而支持所有欧元区国家都必须平衡预算。在该安排下，财政惩罚将“自动地”施加于违反平衡预算义务的国家。只要每个国家都实现平衡预算，就没有必要实行财政转移了。
