    Fiscal Compact e Meccanismo Europeo di Stabilità: quale impatto sull'equilibrio istituzionale dell'Unione?
    in Diritto dell'Unione europea , n. 1 ,  2015 ,  91-135
    Adopted with the aim of strengthening the EMU, the ESM Treaty and the Fiscal Compact are international agreements signed outside the EU framework. These treaties are not binding for all the EU Member STates. However they make use of the European institutions, raising an issue of consistency with the principle of institutional balance. Moreover, the recourse to the intergovernmental method affects national parliaments powers without involving the EP. This paper compares the ESM and the Fiscal Compact to the previous experience of the Schengen Agreements and their subsequent integration into the EU framework. It argues that Schengen could be regarded as a model in order to face the legal issues raised by the new treaties. Therefore, the feasibilityof integrating the ESM and the Fiscal Compact within the EU framework is examined.
