RE: Eurozone Member States Government Wage Bill

Suggestion: Adopting country specific context of expenditure consolidation and tax expenditure to eurozone fiscal consolidation.

Good Morning Mr. President. Let me start by paying my respects to you and through you to. Mr. President. I am writing to the European Parliament since 2009. My recommendation to the European Parliament that we need to adopt to the country specific context of expenditure consolidation and tax expenditure to overcome the current challenges because options for expenditure consolidation and tax expenditure differ by country. Fiscal rules are less common in most of the member states. Some member states need to reduce deficits rapidly other have more room for manoeuvre. In addition, analogous fiscal rule do not support major crisis or recession in government finances but country specific institutional features will play a determinant role to fiscal consolidation in the short run. When all EU Member States comes under EU rules of 3 percent budget deficit limit and 60 percent debt to GDP limit we will impose analogous fiscal rule for all EU Member States. I recommended this policy my last year working paper but we didn’t implement this policy. European Parliament said that we need analogous fiscal rule for all member states. Indeed, analogous fiscal rule is vital for member states but not now. I still believe that analogous fiscal rule would not help European economies to overcome the current challenges in the short run because member states have different public expenditures and tax expenditures. But we can implement analogous pension reform for all EU member states to fiscal consolidation.

Mr. President, please accept, your Excellency, the assurances to reduce deficit and public debt of EU member States by adopting country specific context of expenditure consolidation and tax expenditures. This would turn out to be Europe’s biggest step forward to ensure fiscal consolidation and bring public finances back to sustainable path in the short run.

Sincere Regards,

Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja.

BRITAIN’S BREXIT BATTLE 2019

To: The Right Honourable European Commission President Hon. Jean-Claude Juncker From: Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja Date: August 19, 2019 RE: BRITAIN’S BREXIT BATTLE Suggestion: Hon. European Commission President, let me start by paying my respects to you and through you to. The UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has insisted repeatedly that backstop must go, if not then no deal BREXIT but he support the GFA and custom-free border between the UK (Northern Ireland) and the EU (Republic of Ireland). That is a blatant contradiction. How can he have it both ways? If the UK wanted to exit from the EU bloc without a deal - the return of a hard border is absolutely necessary. Why BREXITERS are object to the backstop? The reason behind that it would give the EU way to keep a toehold in future UK trade policy. If the UK wanted to leave the EU without backstop, in other words, a hard BREXIT or there is been no exit agreement by both the UK and the EU – then the r

HONG KONG EXTRADITION BILL 2019

To: The Right Honourable Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China Ms. Carrie Lam From: Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja Date: August 29, 2019 RE: HONG KONG EXTRADITION BILL 2019 Suggestion: Hon. Chief Executive of the Hong Kong let me start by paying my respects to you and through you to. “One Country Two Systems” structure compels Hong Kong to operate currently under different legal system than that of Mainland China. You published the extradition bill on March 29, 2019 and first reading on April 3, 2019 which will destroy Hong Kong legal independence because extradition bill is another attempt for China to take away the Hong Kong independent legal system that China has agreed for Hong Kong to keep until 2047. Thus, the people of Hong Kong marched their protest against the bill on June 9, 2019. Hong Kong protests are still continuing. The silence of your government leads me to believe you have no plan t

EU NEW FISCAL AUTHORITY FOR WEAK MEMBER STATES

This paper focuses on setting up new fiscal authority to manage compatible fiscal decentralisation and budgetary discipline in the EU Member States. The authority need to adopt a tough fiscal consolidation programme. The authority should be responsible for designing fiscal policy for all Member States with stricter rules, conscientious monitoring and enforcement mechanisms for the conduct of fiscal decentralisation and budgetary policy. If Member States does not implement or violate the fiscal authority law that Member State/States to be sued in the European Court of Justice. We cannot grow our economy without proper fiscal cooperation between Member States. So the fiscal authority must coach at least weak Member States how to implement effective fiscal policy so that crony driven economy can be turned into a competitive market based economy. EU established the provisions of the Stability and Growth Pact (SGP) to avoid excessive deficits of the Member States and take precise act
