Recital 4
(4) A Member State whose currency is the euro should be subject to enhanced surveillance when it is experiencing - or at risk of experiencing - severe financial disturbance, with a view: a) to ensuring its swift return to a normal situation and to protecting the other euro area Member States against possible negative spill over effects; b) to preventing the consequences of financial turbulence in causing cuts in the social provisions and the unsustainability of pension systems; c) to combating social exclusion, poverty and lack of access to educational opportunities, especially for the most vulnerable groups. This enhanced surveillance should include a wider access to the information needed for a close monitoring of the economic, fiscal and financial situation and a regular reporting to the Economic and Financial Committee (EFC) or to any sub- committee the latter may designate for that purpose. The same modalities of surveillance should apply to Member States requesting precautionary assistance from the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF), the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) the International Monetary Fund (IMF) or another international financial institution.
