Die Europäische Kommission zieht die Zügel für die Haushaltspolitik der EU-Mitgliedstaaten wieder an. Die Ausweichklausel für die Schuldenregeln soll zum Jahresende auslaufen. Damit drohen Mitgliedstaaten bei überhöhter Neuverschuldung wieder Defizitverfahren.

The European Commission is tightening the reins again on EU member states' budget policies. The escape clause for debt rules is to expire at the end of the year. This means that member states will once again be threatened with deficit procedures if they incur excessive new debt.
Von Max Mustermann
If the Council had its way, the financial sector would be almost entirely excluded from the EU's duty of care legislation. What this means in concrete terms is shown by an example from Mexico, in which a Luxembourg financial holding company is also involved. The case clearly shows how difficult it is to clarify the question of the responsibility of financial service providers.
