Abstract
Did signing the Lisbon Treaty bring about substantial changes in the economic and social policy of the EU and its Member States? Economic policy is still mainly determined by the ECB which considers price stability to be the key to sustainable growth. In the area of budgetary policy, the Pact on Stability and Growth is not only revoked but supervision and oversight procedures are made stricter. However, the Lisbon Treaty introduces a more explicit reference to the need for coordination of national economic policies. Nevertheless, it only refers to formulation of recommendations from the Commission when a Member State's economic policy contradicts what is understood as "the correct functioning of the EMU" and shows no progress in the field of harmonising European tax systems. References to social policy, which have never been of primary interest to community institutions, are still very general and most of them had been mentioned previously
