AI:In short
This is the rapporteur's draft report on a Commission proposal to amend Regulations (EU) No 1173/2011 and (EU) No 473/2013 to align them with the EU economic governance framework and simplify it. The draft resolution adopts Parliament's first-reading position and calls on the Commission to refer the matter to Parliament again if it substantially amends its proposal. The amendments keep the economic dialogue between Parliament, the Council and the Commission on financial sanctions and on budgetary plans, and retain Parliament's role in that dialogue. They also change the review article of Regulation (EU) No 1173/2011 and amend Article 15 of Regulation (EU) No 473/2013 so that Council recommendations made public under Article 126(8) TFEU are covered and the competent committee may invite the member state concerned to an exchange of views.
Position. The rapporteurs propose that Parliament adopt its first-reading position with amendments that keep the economic dialogue and Parliament's role in it, and that change the review and dialogue provisions of the two regulations.
Key points
- Parliament adopts its first-reading position on the proposal to amend Regulations (EU) No 1173/2011 and (EU) No 473/2013.
- Parliament calls on the Commission to refer the matter to Parliament again if it replaces, substantially amends or intends to substantially amend its proposal.
- Amendment 1 adds to Recital 7 that the economic dialogue aims to enhance dialogue between the Union institutions, in particular Parliament, the Council and the Commission, and to ensure greater transparency and accountability.
- Amendment 1 deletes the sentence that the dialogue could be part of the economic dialogue set out in Article 28 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1263.
- Amendment 2 keeps the economic dialogue on the content of draft budgetary plans, the Eurogroup discussion of Commission opinions and the assessment of the budgetary situation in the euro area.
- Amendment 2 deletes the sentence that this dialogue could be integrated with the economic dialogue under Regulation (EU) 2024/1263.
- Amendment 3 adds 'and reports on the application of this Regulation' to the title of Article 13 of Regulation (EU) No 1173/2011.
- Amendment 4 deletes point (d) of Article 15(1) of Regulation (EU) No 473/2013.
- Amendment 5 replaces point (d) so that it covers Council recommendations made public under Article 126(8) TFEU.
- Amendment 6 deletes paragraph 2 of Article 15 of Regulation (EU) No 473/2013.
- Amendment 7 replaces paragraph 2 so that the competent committee of Parliament may offer the member state subject to the Council acts referred to in paragraph 1(d) the opportunity to participate in an exchange of views.
- The reintroduction of the economic dialogue in Article 15 of Regulation (EU) No 473/2013 intends to retain Parliament's role.
