Abstract
The Task Still Ahead: Economic Policy Convergence. European Monetary Union (EMU) started as scheduled on January 1, 1999. The interim results as of the end of 2001 are ambiguous but the criticism keeps more or less in the range of normal monitoring and blaming — insofar we recognize some accommodation with the existing facts.
This analysis draws on a paper of the Brussels’ Initiative, a group of European economists which examine the economic policy of the EU and its institution. The author did the main work of drafting that paper: Brussels’ Initiative: Convergence-Coherence-Adjustment. The need for the convergence in the area of economic policy and coherence in terms of the mentalities of the EU Member States with a view to future cooperation and adjustment in the EMU, Brussels December 1997, paper available from the Konrad-Adenauer-Foundation, Centre de Recherche, Av. de L’Yser/Ijzerlaan 11, B-1040 Bruxelles.
