This paper explores the topic of synergic effects arising from the establishment of a potential European Fiscal Union within the European Union. The central idea of the study is that such a European Fiscal Union operates as a complex system (it comprises independent parts mutually interdependent), and its foundation, superseding the current EU fiscal framework, leads to new properties, i.e., synergy, not previously found at the individual EU Member States level. In this regard, we explain and contextualize the concept of synergy (also by referring to related notions such as stigmergy and emergence), examine the ontological foundations of the European Fiscal Union, and identify possible categories of synergy in this setting, explain their mechanisms, and outline the implications for policy design. The study is theoretical and employs a methodology that includes defining concepts by sufficiency predicates and logical analysis.
