The aim is to strengthen public debt sustainability and promote sustainable and inclusive growth.

@VDombrovskis @PaoloGentiloni Stronger national ownership

National medium-term fiscal-structural plans are the cornerstone of our proposals.

EU countries will have greater leeway in setting their own fiscal adjustment paths and reform and investment commitments.

Simpler rules

For EU countries with a deficit above 3% of GDP or public debt above 60% of GDP, we will issue a country-specific “technical trajectory”.

For EU countries with a deficit below 3% of GDP and public debt below 60% of GDP, we will provide technical information.

Follow

Common safeguards will apply to ensure debt sustainability.

Escape clauses will allow deviations from the expenditure targets in case of a severe economic downturn or of exceptional circumstances outside the control of an EU country with a major impact on public finances.

Facilitating reforms and investment

Our proposals also aim to facilitate and encourage EU countries implementing important reform and investment measures in:

🫒 the green and digital transitions
💪the economic and social resilience
🛡️the need to bolster Europe's security

Effective enforcement

Rules require enforcement.

While our proposals provide EU countries with more control over the design of their medium-term plans, they also put in place a more stringent enforcement regime to ensure they deliver on their commitments.
