本章探讨了三个主要的长期存在的巴斯克-西班牙争夺Concierto的领域：巴斯克地区间团结的贡献的辩论，巴斯克-西班牙公司税差异的争议，以及对如何更新Concierto在欧盟（EU）的监管范围内的不同意见。最值得注意的是，财政模式给巴斯克地区带来的单方面风险，以及中央政府没有任何最低收入保证，都鼓励问责制和责任感。Concierto的双边性质有助于缓解影响共同筹资制度的区域间资源竞争问题。Concierto的发展必然涉及到由于外部发展而重新谈判的阶段，这将不可避免地继续使不同的概念陷入冲突。最后，本章考虑了协调Concierto的不同概念对西班牙-巴斯克财政和金融关系未来的影响。
This chapter examines three of the main longstanding areas of Basque-Spanish contention over the Concierto: the debate over the Basque contribution to inter-regional solidarity; disputes over Basque-Spanish corporation tax differences; and differing views on how to update the Concierto within the regulatory context of the European Union (EU). Most notably, the unilateral risk that the fiscal model involves for the Basque region and the lack of any guaranteed minimum revenue from central government encourage accountability and responsibility. The bilateral nature of the Concierto has helped to mitigate the problem of inter-regional competition for resources that afflicts the common financing system. The development of the Concierto necessarily involves phases of renegotiation as a result of extraneous developments, which will inevitably continue to bring different conceptions of it into conflict. Finally the chapter considers the implications of the growing difficulty in reconciling different conceptions of the Concierto for the future of Spanish - Basque fiscal and financial relations.
