06/02/2018 (Agence Europe) – In its Quarterly Report on the euro area, published on Tuesday 6 February, the Directorate General for Economic and Financial Affairs (DG ECFIN) of the European Commission makes several economic recommendations, particularly with a view to stabilising the Eurozone and making it more robust in relation to economic shocks. Among its recommendations, DG ECFIN calls for the Banking Union to be completed, with the creation of a European deposit insurance system (EDIS) and a backstop for the Single Resolution Fund, in the form of a line of credit from the European Stability Mechanism (ESM). These recommendations are therefore in line with the Commission's proposals of 6 December of last year concerning the deepening of Economic and Monetary Union (see EUROPE 11920), which are the subject of disagreements between the finance ministers of the EU (see EUROPE 11945).
