Moreover, under pressure from France, the Maastricht Treaty’s requirement that countries could introduce the euro only if their national debt was less than 60% of GDP was relaxed in order to admit countries that were seen to be “evolving” toward that goal. That modification allowed Greece, Spain, and Italy to be admitted.
此外，在法国的压力下，马约放松了只有国民债务水平低于GDP的60%的国家才能使用欧元的要求，以接纳似乎正在朝这一目标“前进”的国家。该标准的改变让希腊、西班牙和意大利得以使用欧元。
