Abstract
European Monetary Union, which has been established with the common use of Euro, has reached a state to be
seriously questioned with the crisis that arose in 2008 and named later on as European Debt Crisis. This
questioning is based on the lack of mutual design of Monetary Union’s financial discipline and its monetary

and among these options remodeling is more suitable for Euro Zone’s structure.
