Amendment 186 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 7 a (new)
(7 a) The potential positive spill-over effects of better coordination of fiscal policy and sustainability of public finances represent around €49 billion per year21c. The lack of transparency, consistency and involvement of the European Parliament in the way the country specific recommendations are chosen, and the lack of priorities in the recommendations, are key reasons for the current unsatisfactory results of country- specific recommendation implementation as well as lost opportunities of better coordination of fiscal policy and sustainability of public finances. _________________ 21c EPRS, Study Increasing European added value in an age of global challenges - Mapping the cost of non- Europe (2022-2032) https://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/ etudes/STUD/2023/734690/EPRS_STU(2 023)734690_EN.pdf
