EU: Statewatch Analysis:
Future EU Treaty Reform? Economic Governance and Democratic Accountability (pdf) by Steve Peers, Professor of Law, University of Essex:
Any Treaty amendments relating to economic governance should, assuming that they are desirable at all, leave the choice of measures to take in order to comply with economic governance rules up to national parliaments and governments. More broadly, any general move toward Treaty amendments which strengthen the EU institutions’ role in economic governance must be accompanied by a greater role for of the EP in this area, as well as a greater degree of control by national parliaments over EU activity as compared to other areas of EU integration.
