Even in Finland, the repayment of the NexTGenationeuu resuscitation package, which caused turmoil in Finland, is something that may cause severe torque when negotiating the next EU budget.
Negotiations from the 2028-2034 budget were launched last week when the Commission published the core points for the next budget.
The budget must make a plan for the payback of the EUR 300 billion debt of EUR 300 billion for post -pandemic resuscitation, which has a payment period of 2028-2058.
Finance minister Riikka bite (ps) thinks this is a very interesting discussion. Purra, who has been profiled as an opponent of co-debt, commented on the matter in Brussels on Tuesday after a meeting of the Council of EU Financial and Financial Affairs.
“When we remember, for example, the times when participating [elvytyspakettiin] It was decided, even in Parliament, we were told that the repayment had already been agreed and the systems are in order, ”says Purra.
“Well, that’s not the case. In fact, many citizens seem to have forgotten that the repayment is just ahead. And for the next financial period, in addition to the repayment of this tool, the challenges are really quite quite a bit, ”he continues.
In practice, the EU will pay back its joint debt in the same way as Member States, that is, by rolling running times when taking on new debt. At the same time, the plan for repayment must be and the huge interest costs must also be taken into account.
The Commission is the top of the new budget when presenting highlighted The need for our own new resources sources to ensure “the repayment of loans taken within the NEXTGENERATIONUEA tool, while at the same time ensuring stable national financial contributions of Member States”.
In the past, the Commission proposed, among other things, the taxation of profits from multinational granting and multinational companies in order to obtain funds. According to Purra, the debate on the matter has changed.
“What then ends up is not yet to tell about it. The proposals contain elements that are more in Finland’s interest or cheaper alternatives than some others, ”Purra said.
The Minister of Finance refused to identify which of the Commission’s proposals are the best for Finland.
“In any case, the repayment of these cage is always ahead and it would be good to remember in the current discussion,” Purra summarized.
