Amendment 20 #
Tonino PICULA
Proposal for a decision
Recital 17
(17) A pre-condition for granting the Union’s macro-financial assistance (MFA) should be that Ukraine fulfils the conditions attached to past and forthcoming MFA programmes, notably those related to the fight against corruption, and respects effective democratic mechanisms –, including a multi- party parliamentary system – and the rule of law, and guarantees respect for human rightswhich should be supported by an independent judiciary capable of effectively fighting corruption, and guarantees respect for human rights. These political conditions should be agreed with Ukraine in a detailed Memorandum of Understanding. In addition, the specific objectives of the Union’s macro-financial assistance should strengthen the efficiency, transparency and accountability of the public finance management systems in Ukraine, and should promote structural reforms aimed at supporting sustainable and inclusive growth, employment creation and fiscal consolidation. Both the fulfilment of the preconditions and the achievement of those objectives should be regularly monitored by the Commission and the European External Action Service throughout the life-cycle of the MFA. The disbursement of the first instalment of financial support should be made available only after the outstanding policy measures which were attached to the final instalment of the previous MFA programme have been fully implemented. The Commission should provide a public assessment of the fulfilment of that precondition, including a clear indication of the benchmarks used.
