If all eurozone members participated, Article 136 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU could be used to support their action.The scope of this provision – which says that, “the [European] Council shall…adopt measures specific to [euro] Member States,” and that “only [euro] Member States…shall take part in the vote” – is wide. In addition, Article 138 would allow unified representation of the eurozone in the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.
在理想情形中，这一合作将在欧盟制度框架内发生。如果所有欧元区成员国都参与进来，欧盟运行条约（Treaty on the Functioning of the EU）第136条可以用来支持它们的行动。该条规定，“（欧洲）委员会应该……采取专为（欧元）成员国设计的措施”，“只有（欧元）成员国……可以参与投票”，适用面极为广泛。此外，第138条规定欧元区可以在IMF和世界银行中采用联合代表。
