Der var bred enighed om at bibeholde kompetencefordelingen mellem EU og medlemsstaterne inden for såvel den økonomiske som den monetære politik, hvor kompetencen for den monetære politik i euroområdet ligger hos EU og forvaltes af Den Europæiske Centralbank, og kompetencen for den økonomiske politik fortsat beror hos medlemsstaterne.
There was broad consensus in favour of maintaining the allocation of competences as between the Union and the Member States for economic policy and monetary policy, with competence for monetary policy within the euro zone being attributed to the Union and managed through the Central Bank, and competence for economic policy remaining in the hands of the Member States.
