It is alarming to think that the EU could use the fiscal rules to push certain economic agendas outside that of the normal, democratic pathway. I refer to issues such as a higher retirement age, for example, among other challenges.

How could the fiscal rules be designed in a way that allows for corrective action that would not mean opening up threats to democracy and the sovereignty of member states?
