Book Description
This paper provides an overview and assesses the 2008 fiscal notifications made by candidate countries (Croatia, former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Turkey). All candidate countries were invited to submit fiscal notifications to the Commission services, in accordance with the commitments made under the pre-accession fiscal surveillance procedure. This notification is the eight such annual exercise, though only the fourth for Croatia, a candidate country since June 2004, and the third for the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, a candidate country since December 2005.Candidate countries are more or less familiar with the EU legal and methodological principles for the calculation of general government deficits and debt levels. The presentation of the notification tables and in particular the reconciliation between the national budget balance and the balance used in EU fiscal surveillance is generally in line with the requirements. Significant efforts have been made to provide figures that comply as much as possible with the methodology and coverage required by the fiscal notifications.The prospect of accession is a catalyst for reforms in the scope and the management of the national budgets. Budget presentations are being modernised, and national budgetsœ coverage of government operations is being made more exhaustive. In particular, there has been a spectacular reduction in the number of off-budget and special funds accounts and operations. Also, the reference to central and general government in EU fiscal surveillance often leads to more systematic monitoring, supervision and controllability of the operations of local authorities and of social security.

Book Description
"This report by European Commission staff provides an overview of the challenges faced by Portugal and the objectives and design of the economic and financial programme. Following a request by Portugal on 7 April 2011, the European Commission, ECB and IMF negotiated an Economic Adjustment Programme, aimed at restoring confidence, enabling the return of the economy to sustainable growth, and safeguarding financial stability in Portugal, the Euro area and the EU. The Programme was agreed by the European Council on 17 May 2011. It covers the period 2011-2014. The programme foresees comprehensive action on three fronts: a credible and balanced fiscal consolidation strategy, efforts to safeguard the financial sector and deep and frontloaded structural reforms to boost potential growth."--Provided by publisher.

"The design of the initial scoreboard is presented in the first Alert Mechanism Report (AMR) issued by the Commission on 14 February 2012. This paper adds to the AMR by describing in more detail the rationale of the different indicators, the choices made in the selection process and how they should be economically understood in the context of the MIP. The scoreboard consists of a set of ten indicators with indicative thresholds: two indicators aim at monitoring external positions, three indicators capture competitiveness developments and the subsequent five indicators reflect internal imbalances."
