Är Stabilitetspakten Stupid? Olli Rehn, Prodi och Persson
Olli Rehn, EU Commissioner for Economic Affairs: "The stability and growth pact is not stupid"
"The pact entails considerable scope for judgment when it comes to its application."
"While fiscal consolidation is unavoidable and structural reforms the key to growth in the medium-term, active public policies to promote sustainable growth are equally important," he said.

When the euro was born everyone knew that sooner or later a crisis would occur. It was also clear that the stability and growth pact was – as I have said before – “stupid”

- Jag vet hur viktig stabilitetspakten är för mig som anhängare av en nationell finanspolitik men en europeisk penningpolitik. Det som ska förena eld och vatten där är stabilitetspakten.

Göran Persson: Sverige går bara med i "fungerande" EMU
Sverige kommer bara att gå med i EMU och övergå till euron om stabilitetspakten garanterat gäller samtliga medlemsländer. Det sade statminister Göran Persson på tisdagen.
"Om vi hamnar i en situation med budgetanarki inom EU, med ökande budgetunderskott kommer EMU inte att fungera", sade han och hänvisade till rapporter om hur andra EU-länder kan komma att följa Portugal och överskrida stabilitetspaktens gräns på 3 procent av BNP.
