   Añadido: Ha. whereas the convergence criteria are mathematical – not political – rules designed to prevent instability in the euro area, support price stability and act as a protector of people’s purchasing power and wealth; whereas the 3 % budget deficit rule is the mathematical upper limit to a sustained deficit so as to at least ensure the mere mathematical possibility of repayment of debt (no-Ponzi scheme condition) without resorting to higher inflation, while this calculated limit was based on the substantially stronger economic growth levels of the 1990s; whereas the breaking of the deficit criterion for various political reasons has become normal and now even institutionalised in the EU, while financial markets will only consider mathematical – not political – reasoning for their price and interest evaluation of sovereign bonds;

   Paragraph 2

   Presentada por Rada Laykova, Siegbert Frank Droese · ESN

   … a prerequisite for it to fulfil its mandate of maintaining price stability; Añadido: criticises the fact that the ECB relies exclusively and blindly on a body subordinate to the Commission, Eurostat, to obtain a variety of essential data on which it bases its monetary policy and steers the euro, as in practice this undermines its independence, as its policy is reliant on data provided by a body subordinate to the Commission;

   Paragraph 6

   Presentada por Rada Laykova, Siegbert Frank Droese · ESN

   … 130 TFEU; emphasises that independence requires the ECB’s actions to remain apolitical; Añadido: reiterates that the economic rationale behind Article 123 TFEU and Article 21 of the Statute of the ESCB and of the ECB is to prohibit the ECB from being used, directly or indirectly, to finance government spending by the Member States on the basis of political objectives; calls on the ECB to inform Parliament whether there have already been discussions within the board of the ECB to restart future asset purchase programmes, in order to counteract possible strong increases in interest rates on sovereign bonds caused by the current excessive spending of several Member States and the national escape clause;

   Paragraph 6 a (new)

   Presentada por Rada Laykova, Siegbert Frank Droese · ESN

   Añadido: 6a. Strongly recommends the decentralisation of the ECB’s sources of macroeconomic input data, as well as the creation and use of intrinsic means for the continuous monitoring of potential systematic problems with such data, since it is so crucial for the formulation of its monetary policy and the monitoring of its primary objective;

    Paragraph 6 b (new)

    Presentada por Rada Laykova, Siegbert Frank Droese · ESN

    Añadido: 6b. Points out the feasibility and statistical necessity, after more than two decades, of reviewing Eurostat’s key annual macroeconomic data by comparing compound annual macroeconomic growth and inflation figures with data from other sources using considerably longer time intervals than the current yearly intervals, in order to identify problems, systematic distortions or errors; stresses that errors or bias in annual data are difficult to detect, but if consistent or systematic bias or errors exist, this would become apparent over such longer periods, which now exist after more than two decades; calls on the ECB to carry out such statistical investigations and checks to ensure that it is steering the euro with an unbiased compass;

    Paragraph 8 a (new)

    Presentada por Rada Laykova, Siegbert Frank Droese · ESN

    Añadido: 8a. Considers that the strong increase in money supply in the decade prior to the surge in inflation, which was mainly due to the zero interest-rate policy, the asset purchase programmes and, in particular, the sharp increase in money supply immediately prior to the surge, i.e. during the COVID-19 emergency measures, combined with the sudden increase in the velocity of money following the end of the COVID-19 restrictions, as well as the sudden supply contraction of essential resources as a result of EU sanctions, created a textbook case for a predictable sharp surge in inflation due to the neutrality of money;

    Paragraph 9

    Presentada por Rada Laykova, Siegbert Frank Droese · ESN

    … easing monetary policy should be prudent, data-driven and guided by price stability; Añadido: expresses concern about Member States’ increasing debt levels, their excessive deficit spending and the ensuing predictable effect on interest rates in several Member States, which will lead to renewed demands for ECB intervention with fresh money to lower interest rates via asset purchases, which in turn would result in increased monetary-induced price inflation in the years to come;

    Paragraph 10 a (new)

    Presentada por Rada Laykova, Siegbert Frank Droese · ESN

    Añadido: 10a. Highlights that the so-called ‘cost-of-living crisis’ is just another term for the significant decline in the general population’s purchasing power, while monetary inflation and a low-growth environment are generally among the main economic causes of such declines; points out that inflation adjustments often at best only raise wages up to the officially reported level, such that if inflation is systematically under-reported, this would result in a sustained decline in real wages; points to the link between sustained expansionary monetary policy and property prices, and subsequently housing prices, in a fiat money system;

Stresses that the ECB’s purchase programmes are Eliminado: unconventional Añadido: highly questionable monetary policy tools Eliminado: that have side effects; notes in particular that asset purchase programmes can distort price signals; Añadido: undermining the principle of monetary dominance by indirectly financing excessive government spending via the downward manipulation of bond prices, and thus debt costs, at the expense of future price stability and, consequently, the real wealth and purchasing power of the entire population of the euro area; notes that the ECB started shrinking its balance sheet only very gradually; …

    Paragraph 18 a (new)

    Presentada por Rada Laykova, Siegbert Frank Droese · ESN

    Añadido: 18a. Points out that the protracted period of low and zero interest rates over the last decade has undermined creative destruction and economic evolution, as it prevented inefficient companies from being forced to exit the market, because they were able to stay afloat by taking out very cheap loans, which ultimately contributed to the lack of competitiveness of the EU economy, since this undermined this vital evolutionary economic process and led to material and human resources being tied up by very inefficient companies (‘zombie companies’) that would otherwise have disappeared from the market long ago;

    Añadido: 22a. Recalls that equal access to payment services is essential for participation in economic life; underlines that the increasing digitalisation of payments, if left exclusively to private and non-EU actors, risks creating new forms of exclusion for both users and merchants; stresses that an online and offline digital euro should contribute to safeguarding universal access to payments and broad acceptance by merchants across the EU, while fully respecting privacy and data protection standards;

Eliminado: Takes note of Añadido: Welcomes the ongoing discussions on the digital euro; Añadido: underlines that, in a context of heightened geopolitical uncertainty and excessive dependence on non-EU payment infrastructures, the introduction of a digital euro, designed to complement cash and private banking services, is essential to strengthen EU monetary sovereignty, reduce fragmentation in retail payments and support the integrity and resilience of the single market;
