The authors are putting attention to the issues of achieving fiscal stability through respecting the adopted on EU level the fiscal framework. The majority of EU countries nowadays apply the fiscal framework based on a s t of fiscal rules. The usage of the basic instrument what fiscal rules are (developed and respected at the level of individual EU country), is to serve to construct and implement optimal, legal and organizational solutions that will be a compromise between the level and scale of fiscal consolidation and the attained level of socio – economic development. Achieving these objectives during the economic slowdown, market instability of the financial system and the low level of interest rates is not simple and fast to achieve action. That is why we observe discrepancies between EU countries in terms of the legal – organizational solutions in the field of fiscal rules and accordingly to that, achieved the effects.
