Beskrivning
The Maastricht Treaty and the Stability Growth Pact demand that EU member states comply with their famous deficit and debt requirements of three and sixty per cent of GDP. Yet, how can the EU's leaders be certain that these targets are met? Is a three per cent deficit in Belgium equivalent to one in Italy or France? Making the EMU explores how the Treaty's budgetary surveillance procedure monitors member state budgetary policies, harmonizes their budgetary data, and effectively determines which member states qualified for member status and are subject to the Pact's sanctions. This book provides the first examination of how the EU entrusted the credibility of these critical budgetary figures to a relatively minor European Commission agency, and what effect the surveillance procedure has on the making of the EMU and the enforcement of Maastricht.

Recensioner i media

Review from previous edition Savage's book is an impressively researched and surprisingly engaging account of a relatively arcane subject. It is a convincing application of delegation theory, used to reveal a hitherto unexplored but clearly crucial element in the complicated process leading to the start of EMU's stage III and the application of Stability and Growth Pact rules and Broad Economic Policy Guidelines which form the core of macroeconomic policy coordination in the Euro-zone.
