Paragraph 1 a (new)
Paragraph 1 a (new)
1a. The legislative act/feasibility study to be adopted by the Commission within twelve months should aim: – To enhance the coordination and articulation between Member States budgets and the EU budget as a counter- cyclical complement for a sustainable fiscal consolidation as well as create incentives such as modulating co- financing rates or introducing a performance Union reserve to reward sound fiscal policies. An enhanced coordination and articulation between EU and Member States budgets as a counter- cyclical complement for a sustainable fiscal consolidation and therefore as a proper means for avoiding a reduction of sustainable investments while consolidating fiscal accounts could be targeted in order to reduce the dependence of fossil energy imports through substantial investment programs in the field of energy production, resource efficiency and in particular in the field of renewable energies. These programs would not only guarantee a long term return on investment but would also help to correct current account deficits as long as all highly indebted EU countries -and more broadly most EU Member States- are net importers of fossil sources of energy.
