Debt rules: Member states postpone dispu • Table.Briefings

Governments are suspending their dispute over the reform of the new EU fiscal regulations for the time being. This is revealed in a draft of the conclusions of the ministers of finance meeting, which is available to Table.Media. This indicates that the regular summit on 23/24 March will not be burdened by the disagreements over the realignment of the debt rules, which are particularly intense between the EU Commission and the German government.

The EU states have agreed on draft conclusions on the reform of European debt rules at the technical level, i.e. in the Economic and Financial Committee. The Swedish Presidency plans to present the conclusions, which are available to Table.Media, to the ministers of finance at their meeting on 14 March. EU circles do not expect any further controversy at the meeting. The conclusions should reflect the views of all participants.
