On 4 December, the book "The Economic Governance of the European Union", written by Beatriz Iñarritu, researcher and professor at Deusto Business School was presented in an event organised by Deusto Business Alumni in collaboration with the Luis Bernaola Foundation. Joaquín Almunia, president of the Center for European Policy Studies, former minister and European commissioner, was the author of the prologue and participated in the event. Beatriz Iñarritu spoke about the Economic Governance of the EU and the EMU (European Monetary Union) as a complex framework of different elements, tools and procedures combining a balance between common and national interests. She mentioned that the economic crisis has led to new proposals for new and/or better instruments, implausible just a few years ago. As on many other previous occasions, the EU has emerged as a result of the need and the giant steps towards a common governance in the economic field with the aim of improving the preparation, response and management of possible new crises. In the author’s opinion, among these achievements, we have to highlight the EU’s supervision of national budgetary projects, the macroeconomic supervision procedure, the creation of the ESM, or the Banking Union and the Union of Capital Markets.
