THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

TÁ PARLAIMINT NA hEORPA AGUS COMHAIRLE AN AONTAIS EORPAIGH,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 136 in combination with Article 121(6) thereof,

Ag féachaint don Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh, agus go háirithe Airteagal 136 i gcomhar le hAirteagal 121(6) de,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Ag féachaint don togra ón gCoimisiún Eorpach,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Central Bank,

Ag féachaint don tuairim ón mBanc Ceannais Eorpach,

After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national Parliaments,

Tar éis dóibh an dréachtghníomh reachtach a chur chuig na Parlaimintí náisiúnta,

Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure,

Ag gníomhú dóibh i gcomhréir leis an ngnáthnós imeachta reachtach,

Whereas:

De bharr an méid seo a leanas:

1. The Treaty requires that Member States' regard their economic policies as a matter of common concern and that their budgetary policies are guided by the need for sound public finances and that their economic policies do not risk jeopardising the proper functioning of Economic and Monetary Union.

1. Ceanglaítear sa Chonradh go measfaidh na Ballstáit gur ábhar leasa choitinn a mbeartais eacnamaíocha agus gurb é an gá le hairgeadas poiblí fónta a bheidh ina threoir dá mbeartais bhuiséadacha agus nach gcuirfidh a mbeartais eacnamaíocha oibriú rianúil an Aontais Eacnamaíoch agus Airgeadaíochta i gcontúirt.

2. The Stability and Growth Pact, in particular Regulations (EC) No 1466/97 of 7 July 1997 on the strengthening of the surveillance of budgetary positions and the surveillance and coordination of economic policies[1] and Council Regulation (EC) No 1467/97 of 7 July 1997 on speeding up and clarifying the implementation of the excessive deficit procedure[2], designed to secure budgetary discipline across the Union, sets out the framework for preventing and correcting excessive government deficits. It has been further strengthened by Regulation No …/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EC) No 1466/97 on the strengthening of the surveillance of budgetary positions and the surveillance and coordination of economic policies and Regulation (EU) No …/2011 amending Regulation (EC) No 1467/97 on speeding up and clarifying the implementation of the excessive deficit procedure. Regulation (EC) No …/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the effective enforcement of budgetary surveillance in the euro area added a system of effective, preventive and gradual enforcement mechanisms in the form of financial sanctions for the Member States whose currency is the euro.

2. Sa Chomhshocrú Cobhsaíochta agus Fáis, go háirithe Rialachán Uimh. 1466/97 an 7 Iúil 1997 maidir leis an bhfaireachas ar riochtaí buiséadacha, agus an faireachas ar bheartais eacnamaíocha agus a gcomhordú, a neartú[1] agus Rialachán (CE) Uimh. 1467/97 ón gComhairle an 7 Iúil 1997 maidir le dlús a chur le cur chun feidhme an nós imeachta um easnamh iomarcach agus soiléiriú a dhéanamh air[2], arna gceapadh chun smacht buiséadach a áirithiú ar fud an Aontais, leagtar amach an creat chun easnaimh iomarcacha rialtais a chosc agus a cheartú. Neartaíodh é tuilleadh le Rialachán Uimh. .../2011 ó Pharlaimint na hEorpa agus ón gComhairle lena leasaítear Rialachán (CE) Uimh. 1466/97 maidir leis an bhfaireachas ar riochtaí buiséadacha, agus an faireachas ar bheartais eacnamaíocha agus a gcomhordú, a neartú agus Rialachán (AE) Uimh. …/2011 lena leasaítear Rialachán (CE) Uimh. 1467/97 maidir le dlús a chur le cur chun feidhme an nós imeachta um easnamh iomarcach agus soiléiriú a dhéanamh air. Le Rialachán (CE) Uimh. .../2011 ó Pharlaimint na hEorpa agus ón gComhairle maidir le faireachas buiséadach a fhorfheidhmiú go héifeachtach sa limistéar euro, tugadh isteach córas éifeachtach coscaitheach céimseach de shásraí forfheidhmiúcháin i bhfoirm smachtbhannaí airgeadais i gcomhair na mBallstát a bhfuil an euro mar airgeadra acu.

3. The amendments to the Stability and Growth Pact increase both the guidance, and, for the Member States whose currency is the euro, incentives for the setting and the implementation of a prudent budgetary policy, while avoiding excessive government deficits. These provisions have created a more robust framework at the level of the Union for the surveillance of national economic policies.

3. Leis na leasuithe ar an gComhshocrú Cobhsaíochta agus Fáis, méadaítear an treorú, agus, i gcás na mBallstát a bhfuil an euro mar airgeadra acu, dreasachtaí chun beartas búiséadach stuama a shocrú agus a chur chun feidhme, agus seachnaítear ag an am céanna easnaimh iomarcacha rialtais. Chruthaigh na forálacha sin creat níos stóinsí ar leibhéal an Aontais chun faireachas a dhéanamh ar bheartais eacnamaíocha náisiúnta.

4. The Treaty allows the adoption of specific measures in the euro area which go beyond the provisions applicable to all Member States in order to ensure the proper functioning of the Economic and Monetary Union.

4. Ceadaítear leis an gConradh bearta sonracha a ghlacadh sa limistéar euro, ar bearta iad a dhéanann tuilleadh de bhreis ar na forálacha is infheidhme maidir le gach Ballstát, chun feidhmiú ceart an aontais eacnamaíoch agus airgeadaíochta a áirithiú.

5. Strong public finances are best ensured at the planning stage and gross errors should be identified as early as possible. Member States should benefit not just from the setting of guiding principles and budgetary targets but also from a synchronised monitoring of their budgetary policies.

5. Is le linn staid na pleanála is fearr a áirithítear airgeadas poiblí stóinseach agus ba cheart ollearráidí a aithint a luaithe is féidir. Ba cheart go mbainfeadh na Ballstáit tairbhe ní amháin as prionsabail treorach agus spriocanna buiséadacha a shocrú ach as faireachán sioncrónaithe ar a mbeartais bhuiséadacha freisin.

6. Setting-up a common budgetary timeline for Member States whose currency is the euro should better synchronize the key steps in the preparation of national budgets, thus contributing to the effectiveness of the European semester for budgetary policy coordination. Adopting a common budgetary timeline should lead to stronger synergies by facilitating policy coordination among Member States whose currency is the euro and ensure that the Council and Commission recommendations are appropriately integrated in the national process for budget adoption.

6. Trí amlíne bhuiséadach choiteann a bhunú i gcomhair na mBallstát a bhfuil an euro mar airgeadra acu, ba cheart go ndéanfaí na príomhchéimeanna in ullmhúchán na mbuiséad náisiúnta a shioncrónú níos fearr, sa dóigh go gcuirfí le héifeachtacht an tseimeastair Eorpaigh chun beartas eacnamaíoch a chomhordú. Ach amlíne bhuiséadach choiteann a ghlacadh, ba cheart go dtiocfadh sineirgíochtaí níos láidre mar thoradh air sin toisc go n-éascófaí comhordú beartais i measc na mBallstát a bhfuil an euro mar airgeadra acu agus mar an gcéanna ba cheart go n-áiritheodh sé go ndéanfaí moltaí na Comhairle agus an Choimisiúin a chomhtháthú mar is iomchuí sa phróiseas náisiúnta lena nglactar an buiséad.

7. There is strong evidence showing the effectiveness of rules-based fiscal frameworks in supporting sound and sustainable fiscal policies. The introduction of national fiscal rules that are consistent with the budgetary objectives set at Union level should be a crucial element to ensure the respect of the Stability and Growth Pact provisions. In particular, Member States should put in place structural balanced budget rules which transpose into national legislation the main principles of the Union fiscal framework. This transposition should be effective through binding rules preferably of a constitutional nature so as to demonstrate the strongest commitment of national authorities in relation to the Stability and Growth Pact.

7. Tá fianaise láidir ann a léiríonn éifeachtacht creataí fioscacha riailbhunaithe chun tacú le beartais fhioscacha atá fónta agus inbhuanaithe. Go dtabharfaí isteach rialacha fioscacha náisiúnta atá comhsheasmhach leis na cuspóirí buiséadacha atá socraithe ar leibhéal an Aontais, ba cheart an méid sin a bheith ina eilimint sár-riachtanach chun a áirithiú go n-urramófaí forálacha an Chomhshocraithe Cobhsaíochtaí agus Fáis. Go háirithe, ba cheart do na Ballstáit rialacha a leagan síos maidir le comhordú structúrach na mbuiséad, ar rialacha iad a dhéanfadh trasuíomh sa reachtaíocht náisiúnta ar phríomhphrionsabail chreat fioscach an Aontais. Ba cheart an trasuíomh sin a dhéanamh trí rialacha ceangailteacha de chineál bunreachtúil, de bharr-rogha, chun tiomantas fíordhaingean na n-údarás náisiúnta i leith an Chomhshocraithe Cobhsaíochta agus Fáis a léiriú.

8. Biased and unrealistic macroeconomic and budgetary forecasts can considerably hamper the effectiveness of budgetary planning and consequently impair commitment to budgetary discipline. Forecasts from independent bodies can provide unbiased and realistic macroeconomic forecasts.

8. Is féidir le réamhaisnéisí maicreacnamaíocha agus buiséadacha atá claonta agus neamhréalaíoch cur isteach go mór ar éifeachtacht na pleanála buiséadaí agus dá thoradh sin an tiomantas do smacht buiséadach a lagú. Féadfaidh comhlachtaí neamhspleácha réamhaisnéisí maicreacnamaíocha atá neamhchlaonta agus réalaíoch a sholáthar.

9. This gradually strengthened surveillance will further complement the existing provisions of the Stability and Growth Pact and strengthen the surveillance of budgetary discipline in Member States whose currency is the euro. A gradually enhanced monitoring procedure should contribute to better budgetary outcomes to the benefit of all Member States whose currency is the euro. As part of a gradually strengthened procedure, a closer monitoring is particularly valuable to Member States that are subject to an excessive deficit procedure.

9. Tríd an bhfaireachas sin a neartófar de réir a chéile, comhlánfar tuilleadh na forálacha atá ann cheana sa Chomhshocrú Cobhsaíochta agus Fáis agus neartófar faireachas ar smacht buiséadach sna Ballstáit a bhfuil an euro mar airgeadra acu. Trí nós imeachta faireacháin a fheabhsófar de réir a chéile, ba cheart go gcuirfí ar son torthaí buiséadacha níos fearr chun leasa na mBallstát ar fad a bhfuil an euro mar airgeadra acu. Mar chuid de nós imeachta a neartófar de réir a chéile, tá luach ar leith le baint as faireachán níos dlúithe ag Ballstáit atá faoi réir nós imeachta um easnamh iomarcach.

10. As demonstrated by the sovereign debt crisis, and in particular by the need to put in place common financial backstops, Member States whose currency is the euro share enhanced spillovers from their budgetary policy. Each of the Member States whose currency is the euro should consult the Commission and other Member States whose currency is the euro before the adoption of any major fiscal policy reform plans with potential spillover effects, so as to give the possibility for an assessment of possible impact for the euro area as a whole. They should consider their budgetary plans to be of common concern and submit them to the Commission for monitoring purposes in advance of the plans becoming binding. The Commission should be in a position, if necessary, to adopt an opinion on the draft budgetary plan, that the Member State and in particular budgetary authorities should be invited to take into account in the process of the budget law adoption. Such an opinion should ensure that Union's policy guidance in the budgetary area is appropriately integrated in the national budgetary preparations. In particular, this opinion should include an assessment of whether or not the budgetary plans appropriately address the recommendations issued in the context of the European semester in the budgetary area. The Commission should stand ready to present this opinion to the Parliament of the Member State concerned at its request. The extent to which this opinion has been taken into account should be part of the assessment, if and when the conditions are met, leading to the decision to place the concerned Member State in excessive deficit procedure, where no follow-up to the early guidance from the Commission should be considered as an aggravating factor. Also, based on an overall assessment of the plans by the Commission, the Eurogroup should discuss the budgetary situation and prospects for the euro area.

10. Mar a léirigh géarchéim an fhiachais cheannasaigh, agus mar a léirigh, go háirithe, an gá cúlstacáin airgeadais choiteanna a chur i bhfeidhm, comhroinneann Ballstáit a bhfuil an euro mar airgeadra acu iarmhairtí méadaithe a thagann óna mbeartas buiséadach. Ba cheart do gach Ballstát a bhfuil an euro mar airgeadra aige dul i gcomhairle leis an gCoimisiún agus le Ballstáit eile a bhfuil an euro mar airgeadra acu sula nglacfar aon phleananna móra maidir le hathchóiriú ar an mbeartas fioscach a bhféadfadh iarmhairtí a bheith acu, ionas go mbeidh deis ann measúnú a dhéanamh ar an tionchar a d'fhéadfadh a bheith aige sin ar an limistéar euro ina iomláine. Ba cheart dóibh a mheas gur ábhar leasa choitinn a bpleananna buiséadacha agus iad a chur faoi bhráid an Choimisiúin chun críche faireacháin sula ndéanfaí pleananna ceangailteacha díobh. Ba cheart an Coimisiún a bheith in ann, más gá, tuairim a ghlacadh maidir leis an dréacht-phlean, ar tuairim í a n-iarrfaí ar an mBallstát agus go háirithe ar na húdaráis bhuiséadacha í a chur san áireamh i bpróiseas ghlacadh an ghnímh bhuiséadaigh. Ba cheart a áirithiú le tuairim den sórt sin go ndéanfaí treorú beartais an Aontais sa réimse buiséadach a chomhtháthú go hiomchuí sna hullmhúcháin buiséid náisiúnta. Go háirithe, ba cheart a bheith san áireamh sa tuairim sin measúnú an dtéann nó nach dtéann na pleananna buiséadacha i ngleic go hiomchuí leis na moltaí arna n-eisiúint i gcomhthéacs an tseimeastair Eorpaigh sa réimse buiséadach. Ba cheart don Choimisiún a bheith réidh chun an tuairim sin a thíolacadh do pharlaimint an Bhallstáit lena mbaineann arna iarraidh sin di. An méid a tugadh an tuairim sin san áireamh, ba cheart é sin a thabhairt san áireamh sa mheasúnú a dhéanfar sa chás go gcomhlíonfar na coinníollacha, measúnú a chuirfidh leis an gcinneadh an Ballstát lena mbaineann a chur faoi nós imeachta um easnamh iomarcach, agus más amhlaidh nach n-urramófar treorú luath an Choimisiúin ba cheart é sin a mheas mar chúinse géaraithe. Thairis sin, bunaithe ar mheasúnú foriomlán ar na pleananna ag an gCoimisiún, ba cheart do Ghrúpa an Euro an staid bhuiséadach agus na hionchais don limistéar euro a phlé.

11. Member States whose currency is the euro and which are subject to an excessive deficit procedure should be monitored more closely to secure a full and timely correction of the excessive deficit. A closer monitoring should ensure early correction of any deviations from the Council recommendations to correct the excessive deficit. Such monitoring should complement the provisions set out in Regulation (EC) No 1467/97. The modalities of this closer monitoring should be graduated depending on the stage of the procedure the Member State is subject to, as provided for in Article 126 of the Treaty.

11. Na Ballstáit a bhfuil an euro mar airgeadra acu agus atá faoi réir nós imeachta um easnamh iomarcach, ba cheart faireachán níos dlúithe a dhéanamh orthu chun an t-easnamh iomarcach a cheartú ina iomláine agus go tráthúil. Trí fhaireacháin níos dlúithe, ba cheart a áirithiú go gceartófar go luath aon chás ina n-imítear ó mholtaí na Comhairle maidir leis an easnamh iomarcach a cheartú. Ba cheart d'fhaireachán den sórt sin na forálacha atá leagtha amach in Rialachán (CE) Uimh. 1467/97 a chomhlánú. Ba cheart rialacha mionsonraithe an dlúthfhaireacháin sin a chéimniú ag brath ar an gcéim ag a bhfuil an nós imeachta a bhfuil an Ballstát faoina réir, mar atá foráilte in Airteagal 126 den Chonradh.

12. The closer monitoring for Member States subject to an excessive deficit procedure should allow the identification of risks in the compliance of a Member State's deadline to correct the excessive deficit. In the event of such risks being identified, the Commission should issue a recommendation to the Member State for measures to be taken within a given timeframe that should be presented to the Parliament of the Member State concerned at its request. This assessment should allow rapid correction of any developments putting at risk the correction of the excessive deficit within the established deadline. Assessment of compliance with this Commission recommendation should be part of the continuous assessment made by the Commission of effective action to correct an excessive deficit. When deciding whether effective action to correct the excessive deficit has been taken, the Council should also base its decision on whether or not the Member State complied with the Commission recommendation.

12. A bhuí leis an bhfaireachán níos dlúithe ar Bhallstáit atá faoi réir nós imeachta um easnamh iomarcach, ba cheart a bheith in ann a aithint an bhfuil rioscaí ann nach gcloífidh Ballstát le spriocdháta i ndáil leis an easnamh iomarcach a cheartú. I gcás ina n-aithneofar rioscaí den sórt sin, ba cheart don Choimisiún moladh a eisiúint don Bhallstát bearta a dhéanamh laistigh de thréimhse áirithe ba cheart a thíolacadh do pharlaimint an Bhallstáit lena mbaineann arna iarraidh sin di. De bharr an mheasúnaithe sin, ba cheart a bheith in ann ceartú a dhéanamh go tapa ar aon fhorbairtí a chuirfeadh ceartú an easnaimh iomarcaigh laistigh den tréimhse bhunaithe i gcontúirt. Ba cheart measúnú ar chomhlíonadh an mholta sin ón gCoimisiún a bheith mar chuid den mheasúnú leanúnach a dhéanfaidh an Coimisiún ar bhearta éifeachtacha chun an t-easnamh iomarcach a cheartú. Agus cinneadh á dhéanamh an ndearnadh bearta éifeachtacha chun an t-easnamh iomarcach a cheartú, ba cheart don Chomhairle a cinneadh a bhunú freisin ar cé acu a chomhlíon nó nár chomhlíon an Ballstát an moladh ón gCoimisiún.

13. In order to enhance the dialogue between the Union institutions, in particular the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission, and to ensure greater transparency and accountability, the competent committee of the European Parliament may offer the opportunity to the Member State concerned by a Commission recommendation to participate in an exchange of views,

13. Chun an comhphlé idir institiúidí an Aontais a fheabhsú, go háirithe idir Parlaimint na hEorpa, an Chomhairle agus an Coimisiún, agus chun breis trédhearcachta agus cuntasachta a áirithiú, féadfaidh coiste inniúil Pharlaimint na hEorpa deis a thabhairt don Bhallstát a mbaineann moladh ón gCoimisiún leis páirt a ghlacadh i malartú tuairimí,
