Europejskie ograniczenia w zarządzaniu finansami publicznymi
The present contribution examines the measures in force for the management of public accounts in the light of the process of European integration. Starting by the common legal framework of the Member States – based on the new arrangement for fiscal and budgetary discipline, following the Fiscal Compact – the analysis focuses on the challenging adaptation of the Italian legal system to the changes occurred in the EU law, in particular on the resulting turns that affect some aspects of the form of government, of the form of state and of the national system of the sources of law. Finally, also drawing inspiration from the comparison between Italy and Poland, the concluding remarks are devoted to the prospects for a further involvement of national institutions within the European decision-making processes, after the Treaty of Lisbon and the financial and fiscal crisis.
