Abstract

The newly incorporated rule for fiscal discipline in the Spanish Constitution is the result of the previous establishment of the single EU currency, which involved a reorganization of public finance. This paper analyzes the revised art. 135 of the Spanish Constitution and also some of the new issues arising from the amendment: the effects of noncompliance, the incorporation in the Constitution of a «European clause», or the requirements for a consistent interpretation of the constitutional law after its revision.
