15 The Maastricht Criteria : Signed in Maastricht on 7 February Inflation Rates No more than 1.5 percentage points higher than the average of the three best performing (lowest inflation) member states of the EU. 2. Government Finance Annual Government Deficit The ratio of the annual government deficit to gross domestic product must not exceed 3% at the end of the preceding fiscal year. If not, it is at least required to reach a level close to 3%. Only exceptional and temporary excesses would be granted for exceptional cases. Government Debt The ratio of gross government debt to GDP must not exceed 60% at the end of the preceding fiscal year. Even if the target cannot be achieved due to specific conditions, the ratio must have sufficiently diminished and must be approaching the reference value at a satisfactory pace. 3. Exchange Rate Applicant countries should have joined the exchange rate mechanism under the European Monetary System for two consecutive years and should not have devalued its currency during the period. 4. Long Term Interest Rates The nominal long term interest rate must not be more than 2 percentage points higher than in the three lowest inflation member states.

18 The Excessive Deficit Procedure..Becomes the Excessive Imbalance Procedure! 1. From the Website of the European Commission Economic and Financial Affairs In order for EMU to function smoothly, Member States must avoid excessive budgetary deficits. Under the provisions of the Stability and Growth Pact, they agree to two criteria; a deficit to GDP ratio of 3% and a debt to GDP of 60%. If a Member State exceeds the deficit ceiling, the excessive deficit procedure (EDP) is triggered at EU level. This entails several steps including the possibility of sanctions to encourage the Member State concerned to take measures to rectify the situation...no EDP procedure will be launched if the excess of the government deficit over the 3% of GDP threshold is considered temporary and exceptional and the deficit remains close to the threshold.. If the Member State fails to comply, the council can decide to move to the next step of the EDP, the ultimate possibility being to impose financial sanctions. Source: Council of the European Union 17

The Excessive Imbalance Procedure The Valentine s Day Massacre Published on February 14 th under the new Fiscal Compact, the Excessive Imbalance Procedure looks at a new scoreboard of indicators of competitiveness covering aspects of competitiveness, labour markets, house prices and debt.
