ECON evaluation of Troika

ECON is currently preparing an own initiative report evaluating the structure, the role and operations of the 'Troika' (Commission, ECB and the IMF) actions in euro area programme countries. Many citizens in Europe are sensing a lack of accountability and transparency of the working methods of the Troika. An increasing number of petitions, complaints and other citizens' requests have been channelled to the European Parliament in this regard.

In the framework of the drafting of the report, the ECON chair and the co-rapporteurs have sent a questionnaire to Institutions involved in the Troika as well as to Member States (Finance Minister, Governor of the Central Bank and Head of State).
