About “relatively few weeks”, the Commission will be ready with the corona-amendment to the EU’s budgetary framework, says the commissioner.
While the EU heads of government in these weeks restores the impact of the financial crisis locked debate on common debt, with the entry in the european newspapers, so working for the EU Commission to present an alternative way out of the coronapandemiens horrors.
Vice-Margrethe Vestager says that “skyttegravskrigen” between the North and the South of europe, in each case, “do not lead to money” – that is, help.
Several of dane’s colleagues in the EU Commission supports the Sydeuropas appeal for coronaobligationer, where you together will get into debt, but Vestager will not take a position.
– I try to take my own medicine. When I ask others to have an open approach to this discussion, so I will also have it, she says.
the EU Commission’s president, Ursula von der Leyen, has not supported the corona-bonds. It has, in contrast, the commissioners from France and Italy.
Vestager believes that – as one of several tools – should help and redistribute funds through the EU’s multiannual financial framework (MFF).
– The alternative, as we can offer, is a well-known instrument, which you have seen work in many years. It also has redistribution as part of its internal logic. It has a number of built-in control mechanisms, so you actually know what you are doing, ” says Vestager.
Ursula von der Leyen, aired in late march, the idea to present the changes to the MFF for the 2021 to 2027.
She said, among other things, a package of economic stimuli, so that unity can be achieved through solidarity and responsibility.
– the time perspective in relation to presenting a proposal is relatively short. I do not know when it can be. But we are talking relatively few weeks, said Vestager.
The Danish commissioner says that such a proposal should be seen as part of a total aid package – and not the only solution.
There is already adopted a number of major initiatives. Below is a bailout from the ECB on the € 750 billion, money in the current EU budget and the unprecedented flexibility of the rules for budgets and state aid.
Sunday wrote Spain’s prime minister, Pedro Sanchez, in German and Italian newspapers with an appeal to get into debt together. Germany, the Netherlands and the other among the northern eurozone countries have long rejected.
however, There are voices, politicians and experts in both Germany and the Netherlands, which actually supports the coronaobligationer.
on Tuesday evening the euro area and EU finance ministers to discuss what to do in the acute crisis and in the future.
the EU’s heads of state and government held a summit at the video in the previous week. But it ended without a result, compared to the new solutions on the economic consequences.
Regardless of whether it is called shared debt, coronaobligationer or other measures, it requires that the countries can agree, as Margrethe Vestager says:
– It is up to the countries, the speed with which we are able to help each other in this situation, which is completely unexpected and without historical comparison.
