MILANO – For the post-pandemic, new European rules on public accounts will be needed. And among these, the objective of reducing the debt / GDP ratio towards 60% will be revised. This was stated by the commissioner for economic affairs Paolo Gentiloni, speaking at the The European House – Ambrosetti forum in Cernobbio. “The new fiscal stability pact of the European Union must respond to two problems: avoiding the decline in private investment and encouraging public investment and changing the debt ceiling set at 60% by the Maastricht Treaty in a more realistic way,” he said. Gentiloni, who speaking on the sidelines also expressed himself in favor of extending the green pass obligation.
“I think that the extension of the green pass and the obligation of the green pass is the right path also indicated by the president Mario Draghi. It is the path followed in Europe”, said Gentiloni. “That of the green pass and vaccines in Europe has been a success story: we have 71% of adult Europeans vaccinated, we were behind the US and UK, now we are ahead but the last part of this work still needs to be done if we want to guarantee safety, added gentiloni, reiterating that ‘there is still a lot to do, we have a tool, the green pass, let’s use it’.
