In line with the Ecofin report "Improving the implementation of the Stability and Growth Pact" endorsed by the European Council ( 22 and 23 March 2005), for individual Member States the medium-term budgetary objective should be differentiated according to the diversity of economic and budgetary positions and developments as well as of fiscal risk to the sustainability of public finances, also in the face of prospective demographic changes.
Vastavalt Euroopa Ülemkogus ( 22.– 23. märts 2005) kinnitatud majandus- ja rahandusministrite nõukogu aruandele "Stabiilsuse ja kasvu pakti rakendamise tõhustamine", peaks erinevatel liikmesriikidel olema erinevad keskpika perioodi eelarve-eesmärgid, et võtta arvesse majanduse ja eelarveseisundi erinevusi ning arenguid, samuti riigi rahanduse stabiilsuse fiskaalriske, arvestades samuti prognoositavaid demograafilisi muutusi.
