Economic Policy under the Lisbon Treaty

  • Chapter
The Lisbon Treaty

Abstract

This contribution should be read in parallel to the report presented by Antonio Saínz de Vicuña on the ECB and monetary union in the Lisbon Treaty. We have mostly preserved the form of the oral presentation made at the conference. We will first offer some elements of comparison between the Constitutional Treaty and the Lisbon Treaty and then we will proceed with an analysis of the reform of the provisions on economic policy and on provisions specific to the euro area. Finally, we will conclude by evoking some perspectives.
