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.
