Economic integration is a term used to describe how different aspects between economies are integrated. This really needs rewording as all it does is swap economic and intergration around, thus producing a 'well duuh' type sentance. Always try and describe something without using the original words. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.167.200.20 (talk) 17:16, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't think Fiscal union should be shown as "EMU+substantial fiscal policy integration". This is a very EU-centric view - such as the view that economic integration should aways follow the EU steps of FTA->FTA+CU->FTA+CU+common market->FTA+CU+common market+monetary policy->FTA+CU+common market+monetary policy+fiscal policy. As we see there are many different combinations possible and utilized around the world. Yes, the EU is the "first" and "most advanced in integration" and the only "supranational union", etc. - but it is not the only economic integration project. So, maybe some of the current "monetary union" or "customs and monetary union" would choose to do "fiscal policy integration" before they establish a "common market" (for example because they would want to better synchronize their economies before allowing "free movement of labor").

I don't know how/if we should display it in the table - maybe below monetary union with only two boxes green (monetary+fiscal) - but there is no real world example of such yet. There is no example of CU+monetary+fiscal and of EMU+fiscal either (it is yet to be seen if the current Eurozone reform would ammount to fiscal union) - so maybe this is a moot point.
