"Questions relating to increased monitoring of the state of budgets, such as the issue of speeding up and clarifying procedures applicable in the case of excessive deficits, are those where parliamentary institutions, as independent and directly-elected institutions at both EU and Member State level, can and should play the role of guardians of the soundness of economic policies, especially as regards their budgetary and deficit-generating consequences. In this respect, I consider the European Parliament’s proposed amendments to be positive, and greatly appreciate them. The package of Council directives will, however, remain an open document that will, for a long time to come, enable the national governments to use various means to escape this prudent budgetary and deficit framework, to employ more or less obvious forms of putting their countries into debt and to skilfully disguise the expenditure of one-off, unique resources, such as those from privatisation, for governments’ current economic management. Naturally, this meets the purposes of short-term government policies. The path ahead of us is therefore still a long one, but it is one that we must travel."@en1
