欧州委員会、欧州の経済通貨同盟完成に関するEU(欧州連合)5機関のトップによる報告書について討議


Default: Change to:


To mark Stage 1 of the Deepening of Europe's Economic and Monetary Union (EMU), which started on 1 July 2015, the College of Commissioners had a first debate on the "Five Presidents' Report".


The report entitled "Completing Europe's Economic and Monetary Union" was prepared at the request of the Euro Summit of October 2014 and the European Council of December 2014 by European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, together with the President of the Euro Summit Donald Tusk, the President of the Eurogroup Jeroen Dijsselbloem, the President of the European Central Bank Mario Draghi and the President of the European Parliament, Martin Schulz. It was presented at the June European Council.

Valdis Dombrovskis, Vice-President for Euro and Social Dialogue, presented to Commissioners a first roadmap of actions to be taken immediately on the basis of existing Treaties in order to respond to the current challenges to our EMU. This roadmap focuses on the streamlining and better focus of the European Semester, the completion of the Banking Union and an enhanced cooperation with the European Parliament and with national Parliaments. In addition, as President Juncker already outlined in his Political Guidelines presented to the European Parliament on 15 July 2014, proposals will be made in the course of this year.

  • for a targeted and stability-oriented review of the 6- and 2-pack, aimed at reducing complexity in the rules and processes, and
  • for a consolidated euro area external representation based on Article 138 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.

Vice-President Dombrovskis said: "We need to accelerate the work on deepening the Economic and Monetary Union. The Commission will shortly come forward with specific proposals stemming from the "Five Presidents' Report". We specifically intend to accelerate completion of the Banking Union and reinforce Europe's governance framework to enhance convergence and competitiveness."

The Commission will use the coming weeks and months to consult closely with Member States, the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union and other European institutions, and calls on all stakeholders to participate actively in shaping the completion of EMU.
