EU, Meloni: “Use extra waste to reduce energy costs.”

Rome, 1 Oct. (LaPresse) – ‘The short-term increase in indirect tax revenue resulting from rising inflation cannot be used to finance compensatory fiscal support measures unless a Member State has margin within the agreed net expenditure trajectory. In fact, such support measures are classified as discretionary changes in revenue. While this feature of EU budgetary rules aims to ensure the soundness of public accounts over the medium term, we should still look for ways to use at least some of the additional revenue to mitigate rising energy costs in a temporary and targeted manner.” This is what Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni wrote in the letter sent by Giorgia Meloni to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
