OPINION of the European Central Bank (ECB) on a proposal for a regulation on the establishment of a European Investment Stabilisation Function.
The establishment of the European Investment Stabilisation Function (EISF) aims to protect national public investment in the presence of large asymmetric macroeconomic shocks in Member States whose currency is the euro and in non-euro area Member States participating in the exchange rate mechanism (ERM II).
General observations
The ECB highlights the following points:
- when it is created, the EISF should ensure that it provides effective macroeconomic stabilisation, particularly in the presence of deep euro area-wide recessions. To that end, a fiscal stabilisation function should be sufficient in size;
- effective stabilisation also requires that EISF support is triggered and implemented in a timely manner. The EISF trigger that is envisaged is related to average unemployment over a 60-quarter period. This long period of time appears unwarranted, given that the current unemployment could be far from the 60-quarter average for countries that have experienced a strong upward or downward trend in unemployment over the preceding 15 years;
- EISF support should complement incentives for sound national fiscal and economic policies and, in particular, for reforms aimed at addressing national structural challenges and strengthening compliance with the Union's fiscal and macroeconomic surveillance framework. EISF support should be linked to the participating Member State's past track record of full respect for the Union's fiscal and macroeconomic surveillance framework. Against this background, the envisaged eligibility criteria appear weak;
- a prospective stabilisation function should provide incentives for Member States to build fiscal buffers in good economic times, which may suffer depletion in recessions;
Lastly, clarity would be required regarding: (i) the interaction between the proposed regulation and the use of flexibility within the SGP, notably as regards the provisions of the so-called ‘investment clause’, which has a similar objective to the EISF, i.e. to maintain investment in difficult economic times; (ii) a provision to ensure that the level of EISF support is commensurate with the level required to maintain debt sustainability.
Specific observations
The ECB stresses the following:
- the principle of institutional independence expressly referred to in Article 130 of the Treaty and Article 7 of the Statute of the ESCB. These two articles prohibit the NCBs in the ESCB and the members of their decision making bodies from seeking or taking instructions from Union institutions, bodies, offices or agencies, from any government of a Member State or from any other body. In addition, the Union institutions, bodies, offices or agencies, and the governments of the Member States undertake to respect this principle and not to seek to influence the members of the NCBs' decision-making bodies in the performance of their ESCB-related tasks;
- the principle of financial independence requires that NCBs have sufficient means to perform their ESCB-related and national tasks;
- the readiness of the ECB to establish with the Commission the necessary arrangements for the administration of the loans, and to receive from the Member State concerned the principal and interest due under an EISF loan into an account held with the ECB, as envisaged by the proposed regulation.
PURPOSE: to establish a European investment stabilisation function (EISF) for the period 2021-2027.
PROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council.
ROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the European Parliament decides in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure and on an equal footing with the Council.
BACKGROUND: d eepening the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) and modernising EU public finances are key strands in the debate on the future of Europe initiated by the Commission's White Paper of 1 March 2017.
The financial crisis has shown that in the euro area available instruments such as the single monetary policy, automatic fiscal stabilisers and discretionary fiscal policy measures at national level are insufficient to absorb large asymmetric shocks. However, due to the architecture of the EMU with a centralised single monetary policy but a decentralised fiscal policy at national level, euro area Member States are insufficiently capable to absorb large asymmetric shocks in isolation .
By complementing the role of the existing national automatic stabilisers, the European investment stabilisation mechanism proposed by the Commission should help stabilise levels of public investment and facilitate rapid economic recovery in the event of major economic shocks in euro area Member States and in those participating in the European Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM II).
The package builds, in particular, on the Five Presidents' Report on completing Europe's Economic and Monetary Union of 22 June 2015 and on the Commission's reflection paper on the deepening of the Economic and Monetary Union of 31 May 2017.
CONTENT: the proposed Regulation seeks to establish a European investment stabilisation function (EISF).
The EISF shall provide financial assistance in the form of loans and interest rate subsidies for public investment to a Member State which is experiencing a large asymmetric shock in order to enhance cohesion.
EISF support shall be available for Member States whose currency is the euro and for other Member States that participate in the exchange rate mechanism (ERM II).
Eligibility and activation criteria : the decision-making procedure allows for a lean and swift mobilisation and disbursement of support by the Commission following the fulfilment of clearly defined eligibility and activation criteria as well as a criterion determining the public investment that should be supported.
The Commission's decision to provide support under the instrument shall be subject to strict eligibility criteria based on compliance with decisions and recommendations under the Union's fiscal and macro-economic surveillance framework .
Activation criteria for support shall be determined by a double unemployment trigger which is based on both the national unemployment rate compared to its past average and the change in unemployment compared to a certain threshold in the last year.
In addition, Member States shall invest the support under the EISF in eligible public investment and maintain the level of public investment in general compared to the average public investment over the last five years . They shall also give priority to maintaining eligible investment in programmes supported by the Union under the European Regional Development Fund, the Cohesion fund, the European Social Fund, the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development..
Stabilisation Support Fund : the proposal provides for the establishment of the Stabilisation Support Fund and its use. The Fund shall be endowed with contributions by Member States in accordance with an intergovernmental agreement which determines the method for calculating them and the rules regarding their transfer. For euro area Member States, national contributions shall be calculated as a percentage of the monetary income allocated to the euro area Member States’ national central banks.
The Fund shall only be used to pay the interest rate subsidy and shall be administered by the Commission on the basis of a prudent and safe investment strategy.
The proposed Regulation also provides for a potential involvement by the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) or its legal successor in case the latter would autonomously decide in the future to also provide financial assistance in support of public investment to cater for macro-economic stabilisation purposes.
BUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS:
the loans that the proposed instrument allows the Commission to grant to Member States would be subject to a fixed ceiling of EUR 30 billion . Such loans constitute contingent liabilities for the EU budget in the event of a default on a loan repayment by a Member State granted under the scheme; the interest rate subsidy shall be financed by a Stabilisation Support Fund endowed with annual national contributions based on the share of the Eurosystem’s monetary income allocated to the national central bank of each euro area Member State. These national contributions constitute externally assigned revenue and have no impact on the EU budget.

Amendment 44 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 1 (1) The promotion of economic, social and territorial cohesion, solidarity among Member States, social justice and protection and the establishment of an economic and monetary union (EMU) are key objectives under the Treaties. The Union shall work for the sustainable development of Europe, aiming at full employment and social progress.
Amendment 45 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 1 a (new) (1a) The European Union should not be turned into a transfer union.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 1 b (new) (1b) It is essential that EISF does not serve as a gateway to an EU unemployment insurance scheme or other all-embracing EU insurance mechanisms.
Amendment 47 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 2 (2) Strenghtening economic cohesion amongst Member States whose currency is the euro would contribute to the stability of the monetary union and to the harmonious development of the Union as a whole.

Amendment 50 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 2 a (new) (2 a) A common currency area will lead to increased specialization and its countries and regions will be more susceptible to asymmetric shocks. An asymmetric shock is a negative economic development that affects one region or one country within a currency area more than other regions or countries in the same currency area. An asymmetric schock will usually affect the economic structure of a country and can not simply be overcome by temporarily increased fiscal spending. It can be overcome by a focus on education and entrepreneurship and by becoming competitive in order to attract new private investment and new industries.

Amendment 54 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 3 a (new) (3 a) In defining and implementing its policies and actions, the Union shall take into account requirements linked to the promotion of a high level of employment, the guarantee of adequate social protection, the fight against social exclusion, and a high level of education, training and protection of human health.
Amendment 55 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 4 (4) The unprecedented financial crisis and economic downturn that hit the world and the euro area has shown that in the euro area available instruments such as the single monetary policy, automatic fiscal stabilisers and discretionary fiscal policy measures at national level are insufficient to absorb large asymmetric shocks, often worsening social imbalances and inequalities. Deep and sustained recessions have considerable negative effects – both as the long-term unemployed workers lose their skills, as well as the economy losing productive capacity due to prolonged under- investment caused by insufficient aggregate demand.
Amendment 56 #

Amendment 57 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 4 (4) The unprecedented financial crisis and economic downturn that hit the world and the euro area has shown that in the euro area available instruments such as the single monetary policy, automatic fiscal stabilisers and discretionary fiscal policy measures at national level are insufficient in multiple countries to absorb large asymmetric shocks.
Amendment 58 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 4 a (new) (4 a) Climate change should be considered as a potential asymmetric shock for the EU economy. Climate change impacts EU regions differently and if no further action is taken, the EU's Joint Research Centre estimates that climate damages to the EU economy could amount to at least €190 billion, a net welfare loss of 1.8% of its current GDP. Sustainable and responsible economic, employment, social and climate policies would contribute to the prevention of further asymetric shocks.
Amendment 59 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 5 (5) In order to facilitate macroeconomic adjustment and cushion large asymmetric shocks in the current institutional set-up, Member States
Amendment 60 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 5 (5) In order to facilitate macroeconomic adjustment and cushion large asymmetric shocks in the current institutional set-up, Member States whose currency is the euro and other Member States that participate in the exchange rate mechanism (ERM II) have to rely more heavily on remaining instruments of economic policy, such as automatic fiscal stabilisers and other discretionary fiscal measures, making the adjustment more difficult overall, and especially for the most vulnerable. The sequence of the crisis in euro area also suggests strong reliance on the single monetary policy to provide for macro-economic stabilisation in severe macro-economic circumstances.
Amendment 61 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 6 (6) The financial crisis has resulted in a pro-cyclical pattern for fiscal policies, which has been detrimental to the quality of public finances and in particular for public investment. Much of this can be attributed to a lack of fiscal leeway due to huge debt levels at the outbreak of the crisis or even at the time of the entry into the Euro area. In turn, that shortcoming has contributed to widespread differences in macroeconomic performance between Member States, imperilling cohesion.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 a (new) (8 a) However, financial instruments such as loans or guarantees cannot adequately replace investments in social and sustainability projects. In the context of a highly volatile political climate, more flexibility to allow for productive public spending coupled with a more ambitious reform of the eurozone are both urgently required.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 11 (11) At Union level, the European Semester of economic and social policy coordination is the framework to identify national reform priorities and monitor their implementation, including the implementation of the principles of the European Pillar of Social Rights. Member States develop their own national multiannual investment strategies in support of those reform priorities. Those strategies should be presented alongside the yearly National Reform Programmes as a way to outline and coordinate priority investment projects to be supported by national and/or Union funding. They should also serve to use Union funding in a coherent manner and to maximise the added value of the financial support to be received notably from the programmes supported by the Union under the European Regional Development Fund, the Cohesion fund, the European Social Fund, the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development,, the EISF and Invest EU, where relevant.

Amendment 73 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 13 (13) EISF support should be given in case one or several Member States whose currency is the euro or other Member States that participate in the exchange rate mechanism (ERM II) are confronted with a large asymmetric shock. Changes in unemployment rates and material deprivation are highly correlated with business cycle fluctuations in such Member States. Strong increases in national unemployment rates or material deprivation above their long-term averages are a clear indicator of a large shock in a specific Member State. Asymmetric shocks affect one or several Member States significantly more strongly than the average of Member States.
Amendment 74 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 14 (14) The activation of EISF support should therefore be determined by a double activation trigger based on both the level of national unemployment rate compared to its past average and the change in unemployment compared to a certain threshold. However, having unemployment as the sole criterion to activate support may lead to some deficiencies with regard to the timeliness of the stabilisation function. Other complementary indicators which normally precede unemployment in terms of predicting an impending large shock could be considered in a way that an initial level of support can be triggered before the "large" shock is fully transmitted to the unemployment.
Amendment 75 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 14 (14) The activation of EISF support should therefore be determined by a double activation trigger based on both the level of national unemployment and long-term unemployment rate compared to its past average and the change in unemployment compared to a certain threshold. The activation of EISF support should be determined also by the level of population at-risk-of-poverty or social exclusion and the level of general government expenditure in social aspects in terms of GDP compared with the past levels;
Amendment 76 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 14 (14) The activation of EISF support should therefore be determined by a double activation trigger based on both the level of national unemployment rate compared to its past average and the change in unemployment compared to a certain threshold. The formula for calculating the amount of EISF loan support should also take into account the trend in the youth unemployment rate in the Member State requesting support.

Amendment 78 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 14 a (new) (14 a) It is important to have an instrument in place that can be activated before there is a negative impact on the labour market. It is necessary to complement the unemployment criterion with a set of early warning indictors that can help to assess the risks of an economic shock well in advance to ensure the timelines and effectiveness of the proposed stabilisation function. In this way, the proposed stabilisation function would be much more timely and effective. Supplementary indicators that complement the unemployment rate are needed to provide for a more complete picture of the impacts in the labour market. Underemployed part-time workers, persons seeking work but not immediately available and persons available to work but not seeking are indicators that supplement the unemployment rate, thus providing an enhanced and richer picture than the traditional labour status framework and a more accurate information about the real impact of unemployment in the macroeconomic stability of the Member State.
Amendment 79 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 14 b (new) (14 b) In 2017, there were 8.973 million underemployed part-time workers in the EU-28. In addition to this, 8.127 million persons were available to work, but did not look for a job, and another 2.289 million persons were looking for jobs, without being able to start working within a short time period. These two last groups are normally jointly referred to as the potential additional labour force. In total this means that in 2017 in the EU-28, 19.389 million persons had some resemblance to being unemployed, without fulfilling all the ILO criteria for being so. This is almost the same amount of persons who were unemployed according to the ILO criteria (18.776 million).
Amendment 80 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 14 c (new) (14 c) The 15 year average unemployment rate which has to be exceeded for a Member State to qualify for support may work against countries that have been successful in reducing structural unemployment. A shorter time frame would be more suitable.
Amendment 81 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 15 (15) Strict eligibility criteria based on compliance with decisions and recommendations under the Union's fiscal and economic surveillance framework over a period of two years before the request for EISF support should be fulfilled by the Member State requesting EISF support in order not to diminish the incentive for that Member State to pursue

Proposal for a regulation Recital 21 (21) (21) Member States should invest the support received under EISF in eligible public investment and also maintain the level of public investment in general compared to the average level of public investment over the five last years in order to ensure that the objective pursued by this Regulation is achieved. In that respect, there is the expectation that Member States should give priority, amongst others, to maintaining eligible investment in programmes supported by the Union under the European Regional Development Fund, the Cohesion fund, the European Social Fund Plus, the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 33 Amendment 90 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 33 (33) EISF should be considered as a first step in the development over time of a fully-fledged insurance mechanism to cater for macro-economic stabilisation. Currently, EISF would be based on loans and granting of interest rate subsidies. In parallel, it is not excluded that the ESM or its legal successor would be involved in the future by providing financial assistance to Member States
Amendment 91 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 1 – paragraph 2 2. The EISF shall provide financial assistance in the form of loans and interest rate subsidies for public investment to a Member State which is experiencing a large asymmetric shock. An asymmetric shock is a negative economic development that affects one region or one country within a currency area more than other regions or countries in the same currency area. An asymmetric schock will usually affect the economic structure of a country and can not simply be overcome by temporarily increased fiscal spending. It can be overcome by a focus on education and entrepreneurship and by becoming competitive in order to attract new private investment and new industries. A common currency area will lead to increased specialization and its countries and regions will be more susceptible to asymmetric shocks.

Amendment 102 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 13 (13) EISF support should be given in case one or several Member States whose currency is the euro or other Member States that participate in the exchange rate mechanism (ERM II) are confronted with a large asymmetric shock. Changes in unemployment rates are highly correlated with business cycle fluctuations in such Member States. Strong increases in national unemployment rates above their long-term averages are a clear indicator of a large shock in a specific Member State. Asymmetric shocks affect one or several Member States significantly more strongly than the average of Member States. It should be noted that the asymmetric shocks are caused by the Eurozone’s own economic architecture. Therefore, the stabilisation mechanism must operate in a compensatory manner to counteract the economic divergence and the tendency to deepen the unequal relationship between the centre and the periphery it causes, for example as regards the balance of payments or the intensity of the economic cycle.

That factor is determined such that for a shock that increases unemployment by more than 2.5 percentage points, the maximum support is made available to the Member State concerned.

That agreement should provide that the national contributions for all the Member States are calculated based on the share of the national central banks of those Member States whose currency is the euro in the monetary income of the Eurosystem without any fixed or minimum share of monetary income allocated to the national central banks of the Eurosystem. For Member States which participate in ERM II a specific key should be foreseen to determine the national contributions. The Commission should assist the Member States for the calculation of those contributions. To that end, the European Central Bank (ECB) should communicate to the Commission the amount of monetary income the national central banks of the

(30) In order to increase the impact of public investment and potential EISF support the quality of Member States' public investment systems and practices should be ensured and where appropriate strengthened. An assessment by the Commission should be carried out regularly and take the form of a report and if warranted contain recommendations to improve the quality of public investment systems and practices in Member States. A Member State could request technical assistance from Commission. The latter could undertake technical missions. At any rate, within the macroeconomic parameters consistent with boosting investments, ensuring coherence and complementarity between them in programmes with a holistic approach and a medium-term perspective, technical assistance may only put forward suggestions since the economic sovereignty of the requesting country must be respected.

Amendment 180 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 30 a (new) (30a) In order to give the automatic stabilisation programme coherence, it would appear necessary to operate both in countries affected negatively by asymmetric shocks and in those that benefit. Thus, along with setting criteria for boosting public investment in peripheral countries experiencing asymmetric shocks, which are the result of a balance of payments deficit, it will be necessary to establish ways to ensure that the countries with surpluses carry out measures to correct their surpluses, such as establishing an indicator for automatically increasing real wages.

Proposal for a regulation Article 2 – paragraph 1 – point 6 b (new) (6b) 'large negative impact of a shock' means a difference of more than three percentage points between two IMF forecasts for the real GDP of the calendar year which follows the year in which the shock took place, the difference being calculated between the last IMF forecast preceding the shock and the first IMF forecast after the shock.
Amendment 233 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 2 – paragraph 1 – point 6 c (new) (6c) 'no significant negative impact of a shock' means a difference of less than half a percentage point between two IMF forecasts for the real GDP of the calendar year which follows the year in which the shock took place, the difference being calculated between the last IMF forecast preceding the shock and the first IMF forecast after the shock.

Amendment 41 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 1 (1) The promotion of economic, social and territorial cohesion, full employment and economic stability, and the establishment of an economic and monetary union (EMU) are key objectives under the Treaties.
Amendment 42 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 2 (2) Strengthening economic cohesion amongst Member States whose currency is the euro would contribute to the stability of the monetary union and to the harmonious development of the Union as a whole in the interests of full employment and social cohesion.
Amendment 43 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 2 (2) Strengthening economic cohesion amongst Member States whose currency is the euro would contribute to the stability of the monetary union
Amendment 44 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 2 a (new) (2a) In addition, in line with the principle of openness towards countries outside the euro area, new projects should be open to voluntary participation by all EU Member States, in particular when they involve the provision of financial support from the general budget of the EU.
Amendment 45 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 3 (3) Member States should conduct their economic policies
Amendment 46 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 3 (3) Member States should conduct their economic policies and should coordinate them in such a way as to attain the objective of strengthening economic, social, and territorial cohesion. Shocks may put at risk this objective while a stabilisation instrument would allow Members States to contribute to it.
Amendment 47 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 3 (3) Member States should conduct their economic policies and should coordinate them in such a way as to attain the objective of strengthening economic, social, and territorial cohesion and to increase the competitiveness and resilience against economic shocks of their economies.
Amendment 48 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 3 a (new) (3a) Furthermore, Member States should comply with the existing EU economic governance rules.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 4 Amendment 50 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 4 (4) The
Amendment 51 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 4 (4) The unprecedented financial crisis and economic downturn that hit the world and the euro area has exposed economic weaknesses in Member States, lacking resilience due to the postponement of structural reforms and thus their limited fiscal capacity to react, and has shown that in the euro area available instruments such as the single monetary policy, automatic fiscal stabilisers and discretionary fiscal policy measures at national level are insufficient to absorb large asymmetric shocks.

Amendment 55 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 4 (4) The unprecedented financial crisis and economic downturn that hit the world and the euro area has shown that in the euro area available instruments such as the single monetary policy, the EU fiscal framework, automatic fiscal stabilisers and discretionary fiscal policy measures at national level are insufficient to absorb large asymmetric shocks.
Amendment 56 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 4 a (new) (4a) An asymmetric shock is a shock which harms some countries while other countries benefit from the shock or are not affected at all. As such, the financial crisis was clearly not an asymmetric shock. The Commission is encouraged to invest in capacity building by brushing up basic economic knowledge of its staff.
Amendment 57 #

Amendment 58 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 5 (5) In order to facilitate macroeconomic adjustment and cushion large asymmetric shocks in the current institutional set-up, Member States whose currency is the euro and other Member States that participate in the exchange rate mechanism (ERM II) have to rely more heavily on remaining instruments of
Amendment 59 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 5 (5) In order to facilitate macroeconomic adjustment and cushion large asymmetric shocks in the current institutional set-up, Member States whose currency is the euro and other Member States that participate in the exchange rate mechanism (ERM II) have to rely more heavily on remaining instruments of economic policy, such as automatic fiscal stabilisers and other discretionary fiscal measures, making the adjustment more difficult overall.
Amendment 60 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 5 (5) In order to facilitate macroeconomic adjustment and cushion large asymmetric shocks in the current institutional set-up, Member States whose currency is the euro and other Member States that participate in the exchange rate mechanism (ERM II) have to rely more heavily on remaining instruments of economic policy, such as automatic fiscal stabilisers and other discretionary fiscal measures, making the adjustment more difficult overall, which highlights the need for adherence to the Stability and Growth Pact in the framework of the EU’s fiscal rules in order to create fiscal space and thus be able to address economic shocks. The sequence of the crisis in euro area also suggests strong reliance on the single monetary policy to provide for macro- economic stabilisation in severe macro- economic circumstances.

Amendment 63 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 6 (6)
Amendment 64 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 6 (6) The financial crisis has resulted in a pro-cyclical pattern for fiscal policies, which has been detrimental to the quality of public finances and in particular for public investment and national unemployment schemes. In turn, that shortcoming has contributed to widespread differences in macroeconomic performance between Member States, imperilling cohesion.
Amendment 65 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 6 (6) The financial crisis has resulted in and has been aggravated by a pro-cyclical pattern for fiscal policies, which has been detrimental to the quality of public finances and in particular for
Amendment 66 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 6 a (new) (6a) The attempt to strengthen the Stability and Growth Pact with regards to its credibility and macro-economic coherence by means of the Six Pack, the Two Pack and the Fiscal Compact have added more complexity and less credibility than needed, proving to be a poor substitute for a more fundamental overhaul of euro area governance that will be required in order to achieve a sustainable balance between responsibility and solidarity within the Union;
Amendment 67 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 7 (7)
Amendment 68 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 7 (7) Additional instruments are therefore necessary to avoid in the future that large asymmetric shocks result into deeper and broader situations of stress and weaken cohesion. Together with the gradual establishment such additional instruments and in order to facilitate macroeconomic adjustment, the revision of the EU fiscal framework should also be a priority as the current framework rules contributed to excessive fiscal austerity during the crisis, thus helping to aggravate and prolong its economic, social and political consequences. Moreover, either because countries did not abide by the rules or because the rules were not sufficiently strictly applied during good years, there was insufficient debt reduction in many countries in the 2000s, which reduced their fiscal capacity during bad years. In addition, the rules suffered from large measurement problems as they are based on the non- observable structural budget balance, the estimation of which is subject to massive errors.
Amendment 69 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 7 (7)
Amendment 70 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 7 (7)
Amendment 71 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 7 a (new) (7a) A stabilisation instrument would avoid negative impacts on potential growth as a shock on public investment or employment can easily turn into structural. This would affect primarily the hit Member State but, as the euro area is very integrated, it would damage growth prospects of other Members States. The most efficient channel to produce this spill over effect is trade. Therefore, a stabilisation tool is not only a matter of solidarity but also of economic policy.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 (8) In particular, in order to support Member States whose currency is the euro to respond better to rapidly changing economic circumstances and stabilise their economy by preserving public investments in line with the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate agreement, in the event of large asymmetric shocks, a European Investment Stabilisation Function (EISF) should be established as a first step towards a fully-fledged capacity to address asymmetric shocks in the EMU.
Amendment 76 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 (8) In particular, in order to support Member States whose currency is the euro to respond better to rapidly changing economic circumstances and stabilise their economy by preserving public investment in the event of large asymmetric shocks, a European Investment Stabilisation Function (EISF) should be established based on conditionality and the principle to exclude any type of moral hazard.
Amendment 77 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 (8) In particular, in order to support Member States
Amendment 78 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 a (new) (8a) The EISF should be bound by the same objectives than the one included in the Article 4.1 of the regulation laying down common provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund Plus, the Cohesion Fund, the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and financial rules for those and for the Asylum and Migration Fund, the Internal Security Fund and the Border Management and Visa Instrument.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 11 (11) At Union level, the European Semester of economic policy coordination is the framework to identify national reform priorities and monitor their implementation. Member States develop their own national multiannual investment strategies in support of those reform priorities. Those strategies should be presented alongside the yearly National Reform Programmes as a way to outline and coordinate priority investment projects to be supported by national and/or Union funding. They should also serve to use Union funding in a coherent manner and to maximise the added value of the financial support to be received notably from the programmes supported by the Union under the European Regional Development Fund, the Cohesion fund, the European Social Fund, the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development,
