EC-Completing Europe's Economic and Monetary Union: Commission takes concrete steps to strengthen EMU
Commission implements Stage 1 of "Five Presidents' Report"
October 21, 2015--Europe's Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) is in much better shape today than it was before the financial crisis. However, despite progress, particularly as regards reinforcement of the economic governance and the launch of the Banking Union, the EMU remains incomplete.
Divergence in economic performance across the euro area is significant. With close to 18 million unemployed and many within our societies exposed to risks of social exclusion, more needs to be done to turn the euro area into a fully robust construction. The European Commission now implements concrete measures to move beyond the necessary crisis management of recent years towards a stronger and complete union; towards a union that is built on a lasting, fair and democratically legitimate basis for the future and that contributes to more jobs, growth and prosperity for all citizens. This is the message of the "Five Presidents' Report"' which will be implemented in several stages to complete the EMU within the coming ten years.

Commission takes concrete steps to strengthen EMU
1.Why is deepening EMU necessary?

But the crisis revealed that closer coordination of economic policy is needed to complement the euro and to realise the full potential of our common currency to deliver jobs, growth, social fairness and financial stability.
In June 2015, the President of the European Commission, in close cooperation with the President of the Euro Summit, the President of the Eurogroup, the President of the European Central Bank and the President of the European Parliament presented a report on an ambitious yet pragmatic roadmap for completing the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU).
