The reconstruction fund is said to have a volume of EUR 500 billion. All 27 states must approve the program. — Germany and France want to boost the economy after the dramatic Corona economic crisis with a European billion euro program. Five key points from Monday’s proposal: – • The scope of the reconstruction program should be EUR 500 billion for the first years of the next seven-year EU budget. – • The EU Commission should raise the 500 billion euros as debt on the capital market. The EU countries would have to give guarantees in the next multi-annual EU financial framework. – • Within the EU budget, the money is to be given primarily to countries in crisis, as donations and not as loans. – • Debt incurred at EU level should be repaid from the EU budget over a period of around 20 years. – • All 27 EU countries would have to unanimously approve such a program. The expansion of the budgetary framework – in technical jargon: raising the own funds ceiling – must also be ratified in all EU countries, in Germany by the Bundestag. – (SDA) – Related posts:White House Explains Biden's "Liberation of Iran" Statements | NewsOne Decade Kim Jong-il Died, North Koreans Can't Laugh for 11 DaysOlivia Epoupa back in France, heading to Charnay?The theme of the inauguration ceremony is'America as One'… Top stars all-out, virtual paradeShare this:FacebookX Related Seaweed fiber optics can revolutionize medicine, how?
