U saopćenju lidera eurozone u kom se taj dogovor najavljuje kaže se da su se oni usaglasili okrenuti ka jačoj ekonomskoj uniji, koja bi značila "novu fiskalnu, kompaktnu i ojačanu koordinaciju ekonomske politike" s jedne strane, te izradu "alata za stabilizaciju u cilju suočavanja s kratkoročnim izazovima" s druge strane.
A statement by the eurozone leaders, announcing the deal, said that they had agreed to move towards a stronger economic union, which would imply "a new fiscal compact and strengthened economic policy co-ordination" on the one hand, and development of "stabilisation tools to face short-term challenges" on the other.
