Amendment 42 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 12
(12) The closer monitoringAn accurate and strict review for Member States subject to an excessive deficit procedure should allow the identification of risks in the compliance of a Member State's deadline to correct the excessive deficit. In the event of such risks being identified, the Commission should issue a recommendation to the Member State for measures to be taken within a given timeframe that should be presented to the Parliament of the Member State concerned at its request. This assessment should allow rapid correction of any developments putting at risk the correction of the excessive deficit within the established deadline. Assessment of compliance with this Commission recommendation should be part of the continuous assessment made by the Commission of effective action to correct an excessive deficit. When deciding whether effective action to correct the excessive deficit has been taken, the Council should also base its decision on whether or not the Member State complied with the Commission recommendation and to what extend this affects the employment targets. Strict sanctions should be considered in the case of non- compliance. However, each Member State should retain its budgetary sovereignty. The Council and the Commission, in all budgetary assessments in the framework of the excessive deficit procedure, should give due attention to the implementation of social security systems conducive to the Union's sustainable growth objectives.
