Abstract
On 1 February 2012, member states of the European Union minus the United Kingdom and the Czech Republic agreed on the text of the Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance in the Economic and Monetary Union (the Fiscal Compact Treaty or FCT), subsequently signed on 2 March 2012. The new international treaty poses a number of questions on compatibility with EU law, implications for the Union legal system, institutional balance, national sovereignty and democratic accountability. The EUI debate on the FCT addressed some of these issues.
