Summary/Abstract: The analysis of the Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance in the Economic and Monetary Union elaborated for the Senate concentrates on what is crucial from the parliament’s point of view, that is the budgetary rules and limitations for the member states (Art. 3) and the enforcement of their transposition into the national law (Art. 8), factual changes of the voting procedure in the Council (Art. 7) and parliamentary cooperation related to the topics of the Treaty (Art. 13). The analysis considers the nature of the Treaty under the Czech constitutional law and comes to the conclusion that the Treaty should be subject to the special, stricter procedure of ratification provided for in Art. 10a of the Constitution of the Czech Republic.
