为缓解欧元区债务危机,法德领导人已就加强预算控制措施达成一致。尼古拉·萨科齐和安吉拉·默克尔与会巴黎,制定改革计划,加强规范欧元区的制度。Chris Morris报道。
Chancellor Merkel and President Sarkozy have set out a series of measures they want to implement as soon as possible. They include automatic sanctions for countries which exceed deficit limits and the requirement for countries to enshrine in law a promise to balance their budgets. There'll also be a role for the European Court of Justice, but no further demands on banks to take a voluntary loss on the money that they are owed. Angela Merkel says they want all EU member states to sign up to this new deal, but they intend to go ahead, come what may.
总理默克尔和总统萨科齐制定出一系列措施,他们希望能尽快实施。这些措施包括:对超过赤字限制的国家自动实施制裁,要求各国承诺平衡预算,并写入法律。同时欧洲法院也要发挥作用,但对银行并没有进一步要求对其债务有承担损失的义务。安吉拉·默克尔说,他们希望所有欧盟成员国都在新协议上签字,但两国希望先实施,不管结果如何。
