TOTAL
(*1) Year when the excessive deficit is planned to be corrected, in accordance with the deadline set by the Council recommendation in accordance with Article 126(7) TFEU or decisions to give notice in accordance with Article 126(9) TFEU. (1) Only measures sufficiently detailed and credibly announced should be reported. (2) Including reporting on which sub-sector is taking the measure. (3) By default, the impact of the measures will be reported on accrual basis, but, if impossible and reporting is in cash, it should be indicated explicitly. The impact is to be recorded in incremental terms – as opposed to levels – compared to the previous year’s baseline projection. Simple permanent measures should be recorded as having an effect of +/– X in the year(s) they are introduced and zero otherwise (the overall impact on the level of revenues or expenditures must not cancel out). If the impact of a measure varies over time, only the incremental impact should be recorded in the table. By their nature, one-off measures should be always recorded as having an effect of +/–X in the year of the first budgetary impact and –/+ X in the following year, i.e. the overall impact on the level of revenues or expenditures in two consecutive years must be zero.

(1) Select the measures reported in Table 3a which have a budgetary impact in year t.

(3) Indicate for each quarter whether the data reported corresponds to observed data; the reporting is mandatory up to the current quarter included.
