Features discuss the idea being proposed amongst some EU Member States of having a eurozone budget on top of the existing EU budget. The idea was said to be proposed in the Presidency Conclusions of the European Council, 18-19 October 2012. On the 12 October 2012 the Presidents of the European Council, European Commission, European Parliament and European Central Bank issued a report 'Towards a genuine economic and monetary union. Interim report'. The FT and EUObserver reported that the paper suggested that the eurozone should consider introducing treasury bills, a special budget and a finance ministry in order to stabilise the future of the single currency. The seven-page document, meant to stimulate discussions among EU leaders at the European Council summit the following week, outlined the 'specific challenges by virtue of sharing a currency'. |
