The scope of the EU budget is not to repay interest rates. This is why we, @europarl_en, demand to find a way for this ticking bomb to be placed outside the EU budget. Such payments should not pose a risk to it. 2/2

We have a ticking bomb within the budget of the EU: the interest rate payments, which pose a risk for financing the priorities of the EU budget. They have doubled from 2 bn to 4 bn euros, money that we should have used for farmers, researchers, and students. 1/2

Security and defence, the Neighbourhood, and other essential programmes have no budgetary room for manoeuvre. We will have to work together with the @EU_Commission to adjust the MFF to provide financial stability until the end of 2027. 2/2l

As General Rapporteur for the 2024 EUbudget, I see the consequences of a very tight Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF). Clearly, the @europarl_en demands for an MFF that accounts for unforeseen situations were justified, and it was a mistake to adopt such a limiting MFF. 1/2

Las decisiones sobre el futuro de 🇪🇸 deben tomarse con los nuevos alcaldes y presidentes de comunidades autónomas, con un nuevo gobierno legítimo; no con los que perdieron las elecciones la semana pasada. @EU_Commission no debería aprobar un plan durante una campaña electoral.4/4

Mi valoración como ponente del Parlamento Europeo del Mecanismo de Recuperación y Resiliencia, es que el MRR es dinero de la gente de Europa para la gente de España. No es un bolsillo a disposición de un gobierno. No puede utilizarse para comprar votos antes de las elecciones.3/4

El actual Gobierno de España ha aprobado ayer la adenda al Plan de Recuperación, aunque tenía de plazo hasta el 31 de agosto para enviarlo a Bruselas. El Ejecutivo se adelanta a las elecciones generales y no quiere escuchar la opinión de los españoles en los comicios del 23J. 2/4

Sánchez intenta cargar a los españoles con €94.000 mil. de deuda antes del J23. @EU_Commission no debería evaluar esta propuesta antes de los comicios. Las decisiones con impacto para los españoles a largo plazo, deben ser tomadas por un gobierno legítimo tras las elecciones.1/4

Decisions about the future of Spain should be made with newly elected mayors & presidents of regions, not with those who just lost the regional election last week, but with a new, legitimate government. @EU_Commission should not approve any plan during an electoral campaign. 4/4

As the European Parliament's Rapporteur for the European Recovery and Resilience Facility, I say: the RRF is money from the people of Europe for the people of Spain. It is not a pocket at the disposal of a government. It cannot be used to buy votes before an election. 3/4

The outgoing Spanish Government approved yesterday the addendum to the Recovery Plan, although it could send it to Brussels until 31 August. The Government is getting ahead of the general elections & does not want to hear the opinion of Spanish people in the 23 July election. 2/4

🇪🇸PM Sánchez is trying to burden people of Spain with €94 bn in debt before the general elections. @EU_Commission should not assess this proposal before the vote. Decisions with long-term impact for Spanish people should be made by a legitimate government after the elections.1/4

@LHSummers @PIIE @YouTube It was shocking for us as legislators from Europe when we found out during a trip to Washington last month that the US pays 600 bn USD every year for interest payments.
This is more than the GDP of Belgium or Austria.
It is 2 times the GDP of Portugal or 3 times the GDP of Greece

As the ECB is making significant efforts to reduce inflation, we need to be very careful how we spend public money.
The more expansionary fiscal policy is, the more difficult it will be for @ecb to bring inflation down.

In answering my question in @EP_Economics now, @ecb President Christine Lagarde explains that central bank models had challenges in projecting inflation due to unforeseen shocks.
Recent monetary policy measures show results and inflation is on a clear downward trend in euro area.

Mehr als 40 Staats- und Regierungschefs kommen heute in der Republik Moldau zusammen.
Dies zeigt die Bedeutung, die die #Moldau gegenwärtig für Europa hat. Die europäische Integration der Republik Moldau ist auch im Interesse der EU.
Hier mein @DLF Interview dazu:

There is no better proof to show that #EU countries have understood the importance of #Moldova than today's visit of 47 heads of state and government. The fact that European leaders chose Moldova as the host of the @EPCMoldova Summit shows that Moldova belongs to a united Europe.
