European Parliament ‘cannot accept’ aspects of EU budget deal, say negotiatorsKey MEPs fire warning shots over financial plan agreed by leaders.The European Parliament’s budget team raised concerns over the deal agreed by EU leaders earlier today, suggesting in a statement they will not approve it as it stands.“Parliament cannot accept the proposed record low ceilings as they mean renouncing to the EU’s long-term objectives and strategic autonomy,” said Johan Van Overtveldt, the chair of the budget committee, and five other MEPs.Parliament must give its approval for the next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF), the long-term budget at the heart of today's deal, to take effect.Highlighting health, research and climate change as priorities for the Parliament, the negotiators said they would “strive to secure improvements, including higher amounts” for programs such as Horizon Europe, InvestEU, the LIFE environment program and Erasmus+.“And if our conditions are not sufficiently met we will adopt the programmes on the basis of the existing MFF, as foreseen by the Treaty,” they said, citing an EU law that would see the existing budget extended if there is no agreement by the start of 2021.The deal is “a flagrant missed opportunity” when it comes to ”modernising the revenue side, making it fairer and more transparent,“ the statement said.
(...)“The compromise is also a flagrant missed opportunity when it comes to modernising the revenue side, making it fairer and more transparent. The EU is now allowed to borrow funds but there is no certainty on how the debt will be repaid. Parliament has been clear: the recovery should not reduce investment capacities nor harm the national taxpayer. This is why new genuine own resources are the solution to repay the common debt, but the plastic-based contribution will not do the trick alone! We recall our strict demand to that respect: a binding commitment for the introduction of additional own resources as soon as 2021, and still in the course of the MFF 2021-2027. Furthermore, despite the United Kingdom leaving the EU, the insistence on the rebates has been extremely tough and results in a big step back for the European project: instead of being abolished, rebates are kept and even increased.Additionally, Parliament remains firmly against watering down the mechanism to reduce or suspend EU funding if a Member State disrespects the rule of law, and this issue should not be put off but addressed now. Parliament has stood ready to enter into negotiations under co-decision to continue building a Europe of fundamental rights.Parliament remains ready to immediately enter negotiations in order to achieve a better agreement for Europe”,
‘Lucky escape!’ Brexiteers laud UK’s exit as EU strides towards ‘country called Europe’THE European Union took another huge step towards a full-blown superstate on Tuesday after five days of bitter wrangling over a coronavirus rescue fund ended in a deal.(...)Conservative MPs said the pact showed Britain had quit the EU in the “nick of time”.Veteran Brexiteer Sir Bill Cash said: “It’s huge. They’ve been wanting to do this for decades because it’s only by having tax revenues they can turn the EU into a political union.“They’ve seized the opportunity of this coronavirus fund to move the integration process forward very significantly.“Underneath this whole fund, there are very serious implications for the people of Europe in what is an undemocratic forum.”
Vuelve el 'soplapollas' que dijo un ilustre forero la semana pasada. Ambrose Evans-Prichard hablando de Europa y el Eurofondo. Hasta dice que tiene simpatía por los países del 'club med' . Solo le falta decir que tiene muchos amigos homosexuales. A mí se me gusta como resumen semanal, en ocasiones, y los artículos que cuelgo suelen recibir gracias de otros lectores. Así que intuyo que habrá otros que os guste. O que os da morbo. Vamos., que no los pongo por provocar. Lógicamente tenéis que descontar el prisma anglosajón. O incluso podéis tratar de poneros en su lugar. La elección de la foto de Macron es de todo menos casual. A sus lectores les pone esa cara ... francés, bajito, casado con una mujer mayor y con cara de cabronazo. Un pervertido, vamos, como todo lo que representa, UE incluída.[...]

European Summit Concludes: The Full SummarySummaryHeads of state have discussed the EUR750bn recovery fund that was proposed by the European CommissionThere were a number of hurdles to be taken in the run up to the meeting, such as the size and composition of the recovery fund and the distribution keyAfter 90 hours of negotiations, the European leaders managed to reach an agreement. The deal is a watered down version of the initial proposal. Concessions were made to win over the ‘Frugals’ (Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Austria)After consensus in the European Council, the proposal has to pass the European Parliament and has to be ratified by national parliaments. The majority of the funds will probably be distributed in 2021/2022(...) Fourfold disagreementSo why did it prove so difficult to reach an agree at the Summit in the first place? Prior to the 17- 19 Summit there was broad support for a recovery package. Heads of state agreed that the COVID-19 crisis is economically affecting Southern member states more extensively compared to Northern states and that individual countries are not to blame for the economic and health toll of this crisis. However, the political route towards a support package proved to be a bumpy one. In a previous article we already argued that there were a number of hurdles to be taken.First, Frugal leaders argued that countries would have been able to fend for themselves if they have had sound government finances. This is a common feeling for many voters in the Frugal countries. Consequently, in order to be able to sell the deal at home, they took a tough stance on grants. This especially holds for the Netherlands, since elections will be held in 2021.Second, the governance of the fund was a major issue of disagreement. The Frugals have emphasized the importance of economic reforms, especially for the Southern member states, which in their eyes, have reformed too little in the past decades. Therefore, the Frugals wanted to have a say in how the funds are spend. With the Troika governance of Greece in mind, dependent member states are naturally not too keen on granting veto power to individual countries.Third, the distribution key was controversial. The initial proposal was based on the size of the economy (GDP), the level of wealth (GDP per capita and) and the historical long-term unemployment. This means that countries with a low GDP per capita and countries with a high historical unemployment would benefit the most. This allocation is not necessarily linked to the economic damage caused by the corona crisis. Under the initial term, Poland for example (a country which is expected to be relatively moderately hit by the corona crisis) would be able to receive on a relative sizeable share of the funds because of its relatively low GDP per capita.Fourth, including the rule of law in the distribution key was a thorn in the side of Eastern European countries ,such as Poland and Hungary (which is already under increased EU supervision).(...) The final deal is a considerable rapprochement to the Frugals and the Visegrad countries. The following adjustments have been made:The overall size of the fund has remained the same but the composition has shifted from EUR500bn in grants to EUR390bn in grants.The Frugals receive higher rebates on their EU contributions and a bigger role in the governance of the fund.Disbursement of funds for proposed investment plans have to be ratified by a qualified majority. Member states can object to funds being disbursed within 3 months after acceptance. The final decision is formally up to the European Commission.As for the rule of law, Poland’s Mateusz Morawiecki asserted that there is no direct link between the rule of law and the funds in the deal. The mechanism has yet to be created by a group headed by Chancellor Merkel and is to be accepted by the European Council later on. Since the Council requires unanimity, Poland and Hungary can veto disadvantageous proposals.(...) Additionally, the EU will work towards reforming its own resources over the coming years through taxation on non-recycled plastic, the carbon border adjustment mechanism, a revised ETS scheme and a digital levy. A more controversial topic is the possible introduction of a financial transaction tax. But the latter will be decided at a later point in time.(...) Looking forwardFor the MFF and recovery fund to come into effect, the European parliament should agree on the package and national parliaments would have to ratify. The working assumption in Brussels is that the ratification process will only be completed at the beginning of 2021. With every country more or less pleased with the result, ratification will probably not cause any issues, but there is a risk involved1 since the ratification requires unanimity. The Dutch elections for example could spur the debate regarding the fund on a national level.Once the European Commission has raised the capital it will take a while for the funds to be distributed. The majority of the funds will most likely be distributed in 2021/2022. If it turns out to be the case that these funds are not distributed timely, countries can tap into the EUR 100bn SURE facility and if necessary apply for bridge loans from the ESM/EIB.(...) Two major topics are left out in the open. First, the conditions regarding the rule of law as mentioned earlier. Second, the exact distribution key which was a major topic to begin with. For now we assume that no major changes have taken place there. And even though the final distribution key is unknown at present, a senior Italian official expects2 Italy to receive about EUR 82bn in grants and EUR 127bn in loans according to initial estimates3 . If this proves to be correct, the money has found its way to the countries mostly in need of extra funding (and as a side effect, to the Visegrad countries)

Santander Chairman says EU aid agreement paves way for cross-border mergersThe European leaders’ agreement on a massive stimulus plan for their coronavirus battered economies should help kick-start cross-border consolidation in Europe and complete the European banking union, Santander Chairman Ana Botin said.“What was agreed yesterday (in the early hours of Tuesday) means the opportunity and the probability that we do get a banking union and cross-border consolidation is much higher,” Botin told Reuters in a Zoom call.“It will require changes, but I think those changes are much more likely today than they were yesterday,” Ana Botin said.Santander is the euro zone’s second-biggest lender in terms of market value.Remarks by Botin echoed comments from European Central Bank vice-president Luis de Guindos, who on Monday said that he expected banks to engage in both national and cross-border consolidation within weeks or months.Consolidation is seen as inevitable among banks in the euro zone to gain scale, but low valuations and different legal frameworks around countries are hampering any such transactions.Profitability across the euro zone bank sector is low and an economic recession in the region is expected to further dampen the banks’ prospects, partly due to also higher loan-loss provisions related to the impact from COVID-19 outbreak.“What has happened yesterday on the agreement in Europe is a clear stepping stone for the banking union in Europe. And banking union and free transfer of euros across countries is a pre-requisite for cross-border euro mergers and consolidation,” Botin said.“I do think it’s the time. I do think European banks need scale,” Botin said, adding that for now Santander was not interested in taking part.“As of today, no, with the current rules, no. When the rules change who knows. Even then I think there are others who are more likely to be ahead of us,” she said.The agreement between EU leaders paved the way for the European Commission to raise billions of euros on capital markets on behalf of all 27 states, an unprecedented act of solidarity in almost seven decades of European integration.“It is really important for Europe, I think it is a game changer, this is really a turn in the road, in the right direction,” Botin said, adding that this “will be seen in time as key step in the construction of Europe.”Botin also that the agreement had diminished and averted the chances a sovereign risk and fragmentation problem in Europe and that the person, the country, who had taken the lead to make this possible was (Chancellor Angela) Merkel and Germany.“We could have hoped for something bigger but not for something better,” she said.
Bild’s main attack targets remain Germany’s “Gutmenschen” – the do-gooders, vegetarians, Greens and 1968ers who are treated as parasites and irritants to Germany’s robust economy and middle class. More recently, the paper’s sights have also turned on Merkel and her party, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU). “The paper’s constant targeting of Merkel, but also its current take on refugees and all sorts of minorities definitely reproduces rhetorical elements of the AfD,” says Fatma Aydemir, a novelist and columnist for the leftwing daily Tageszeitung, known as Taz. In the absence of serious challenges from within Merkel’s own party, or from other parties – she has been chancellor for 14 years, a tenure surpassed only by Kohl and Bismarck – Bild has attempted to make itself into that opposition. Yet any populist challenger finds itself in the hard position of convincing Germans that Merkel’s very successful form of reactive politics has run out of historical steam. “We are the voice of ordinary people,” claims Reichelt. “If we didn’t exist, they would really think the whole system is against them.”
