摘要：The Council of Economics and Finance Ministers (ECOFIN) has suspended the excessive
deficit procedure against Germany and France. With a deficit above 3% of GDP in 2002
and 2003, both countries have exceeded the maximum deficit GDP ratio allowed under the
Stability and Growth Pact. As 2004 also will witness a deficit-GDP ratio above 3%, there
is a rather clear requirement to impose sanctions against breaching the critical deficit ratio
for more than two years. The OECD has even predicted a deficit-GDP ratio above 3% for
Germany in 2005.
