Adina Trandafir, Luminita Ristea

Abstract


Addressing the cumbersome state-level fiscal crisis in the EU can be made and on the lack of a
fiscal federalist its architecture. Fiscal federalism is, inter alia one of the principles of European fiscal policy,
redistribution of political responsibilities between independent countries. This article survey the potential
capacity of a system compared to that of the EU fiscal capacity of a system from a state with a federal
organizational structure, as the U.S., addressing eight areas in crisis prevention and combating tax. This
comparison helps to establish priorities for the European fiscal system, leading to the conclusion that a more
federalist is not the most important measure to be adopted to combat state-level fiscal crisis in the EU.
