Even if only for the countries of the euro area, the change of the Treaty – Article 136 of the euro area expected to be expanded, should be ratified by 27 countries of the European Union to enter into force.

New summit in Brussels Thursday. The goal is to create a permanent emergency fund for countries in difficulty. The issue of Eurobonds will also be debated.
The EU leaders are found on Thursday in Brussels for a summit designed to permanently leave the euro area financial crisis, after a year of every danger with the rescue of Greece and Ireland.
The purpose of the meeting of Heads of State and Government in Europe, which opens around 17:00 pm (1600 GMT) and ends Friday, is to begin the creation of a permament Financial Assistance Fund for countries experienced difficulties. This is the seventh European summit this year, like every other devoted to the economic and financial crisis which shook the monetary union.
Echaudée by the Greek crisis in the spring, Europe has developed a plan with the IMF interim support to countries in need of 750 billion euros, which expires in mid-2013. It was therefore decided to establish a permanent, who will succeed him, to reassure markets on the responsiveness of the euro area. But Germany, the main contributor, has asked a legal requirement. She wants the current EU Treaty, the Lisbon, be amended because it prohibits in principle such a mechanism of financial solidarity between countries. Otherwise, Berlin fears of being censored by the Constitutional Court. In Brussels on Thursday, the leaders will then initiate a limited modification of the treaty, which will be realized next year. This will clearly allow states to the euro area to have a mechanism for assistance.Everyone hopes that the change is sufficiently circumscribed to avoid passing by to approve by national referendums, always politically risky. For the first time, the proposed mechanism can make use, in case of rescue of a country, banks and private funds that hold government debt.
Will this be enough there to avoid contagion from the debt crisis? Some officials want to go further by creating "Eurobonds" which countries would issue bonds to common pool risks. But the divisive subject. Germany does not want to hear about it. The question should, at least behind the scenes, be hotly debated in Brussels.
