Sju EU-länder riskerar böter för brott mot EU:s budgetregler - stability and growth pact was “stupid” Romano Prodi, Commission president

Belgien, Frankrike, Italien, Malta, Polen, Slovakien och Ungern. 

Någon återgång till 10-talets åtstramningspolitik utlovas ändå inte.

EU:s ekonomikommissionär Paolo Gentiloni betonar att det inte handlar om att gå tillbaka till den kritiserade åtstramningspolitik som dominerade efter eurokrisen.

 Det betyder inte en återgång till det normala, för vi lever inte i normala tider – och ännu mindre en återgång till åtstramningar för det vore ett fruktansvärt misstag, säger Gentiloni

Romano Prodi, Commission president from 1999 to 2004, asserted in October 2002 that the stability pact was “stupid” because it provided for sanctions on countries already in financial difficulties.

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”

Prodi: It is politically impossible to propose that now. But some day there will be a crisis and new instruments will be created."
