Treaty changes may not be necessary
Stricter budget control rules can be introduced without amendments
in the previous treaties, announced Herman Van Rompuy, European Council

measures that can be adopted without time-consuming ratifications needed for
treaty changes. However, Germany and France still insist on including tougher
rules in the treaties.
