Paragraph 3 a (new)
Paragraph 3 a (new)
3a. Calls on the Commission to ensure that public expenditure incurred by Member States by way of co-financing of programmes co-financed by the Structural Funds and the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI) is not included in the public or equivalent structural expenditure taken into account under the partnership agreement for the purpose of ascertaining that the Stability and Growth Pact is being complied with, given that the latter expenditure constitutes an obligation deriving directly from the observance of additionality; calls, therefore, for public expenditure related to the implementation of programmes co-financed by the European Structural and Investment Funds and EFSI to be completely excluded from the definition of SGP structural deficits because this is expenditure devoted to achieving the goals of Europe 2020 and supporting competitiveness, growth and job creation, especially where youth employment is concerned;
