The article provides an excellent overview of the developments relevant to the European Fiscal Compact. It could benefit by adding a critical review of the strengths and shortcomings of the current compact and potential avenues for improvement.

Bailout program question

The fiscal compact compliance table had different entries for the Bailout column. It had "No", "Yes" (meaning active), and "Yes, expired". It seems to me that this last one only means the member state receives no new bailout money, so wouldn't a fourth entry "Paid back" be possible? If so, are there any states close to doing so? Ireland's debt-to-GDP ration has sharply fallen, and Latvia has a relatively low debt and low deficit. --Ambi Valent (talk) 11:07, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
