On 28 February 2019, the first European Fiscal Board (EFB) workshop took place in Brussels under the heading ‘Independent Fiscal Institutions in the EU Fiscal Framework’. The EFB convened representatives from a broad spectrum of institutions: national independent fiscal institutions, finance ministries, EU institutions, international organizations, think tanks and academia. It pursued two inter-related objectives anchored in the mandate of the EFB. First, the workshop offered a prime opportunity to deepen our cooperation with national independent fiscal institutions. Second, it allowed us to exchange best practice across countries. With few exceptions, national independent fiscal institutions are a rather new addition to the EU fiscal framework; and there is plenty of scope for drawing valuable lessons by comparing different realities and experience. For this ebook publication, we kindly asked the authors who presented their papers during the workshop to incorporate the feedback and comments received from the discussants and workshop participants.
