De staatshoofden en regeringsleiders van de 27 EU-lidstaten kwamen op 16 en 17 december in Brussel bijeen in het kader van de Europese Raad. Deze bijeenkomst richtte zich voornamelijk op de plannen om een permanent mechanisme in het leven te roepen om de financiële stabiliteit in de gehele eurozone te waarborgen.
Samenvatting:
Throughout the crisis, we have taken decisive action to preserve financial stability and promote the return to a sustainable growth. We will continue to do so and the EU and the euro area will
emerge stronger from the crisis.
Growth prospects are strengthening and the fundamentals of the European economy are sound. The temporary stability tools put in place earlier this year have proved their utility, but the crisis has demonstrated that there can be no complacency. This is why we agreed today on the text of a limited amendment to the Treaty on the establishment of a future permanent mechanism to
safeguard the financial stability of the euro area as a whole. This amendment should enter into
force on 1 January 2013. We also reiterated our commitment to reach agreement on the legislative proposals on economic governance by end June 2011 with the aim of strengthening the economic pillar of the Economic and Monetary Union and to continue to implement the Europe 2020 strategy.
