Résumé
The framework is inspired by business accounting and applied to all economic agents. Governments are operators responsible for producing non-market services or redistributing income. As the only harmonized information tool on public finances at international level, it is the national accounting that has been chosen to measure compliance with the budgetary commitments made by the member countries of the European Union. This new role has been confirmed by European law.
