(5) Commission Communication of 11 December 2019 on the European Green Deal19 called for a greater use of green budgeting tools to redirect public investment, consumption and taxation to green priorities and away from harmful subsidies.

The Commission committed to working with the Member States to screen and benchmark green budgeting practices. Commission Communication of 24 February 2021 on the new EU strategy on adaptation to climate change20 pointed to the macro-fiscal relevance of climate change and highlighted the need to increase Union’s resilience to the impacts of climate change.

(11) Biased and unrealistic macroeconomic and budgetary forecasts for the annual and multiannual budget legislations can considerably hamper the effectiveness of fiscal planning and consequently impair commitment to budgetary discipline. To improve baseline assumptions and provide unbiased assessments of the fiscal impact of various policy measures, the macroeconomic and budgetary forecasts of the Member States should be endorsed or produced by an independent fiscal institution.deleted

Proposal for a directive
Recital 13
(13) Independent bodies charged with monitoring public finances in the Member States are an essential building block of effective budgetary frameworks. Regulation (EU) No 473/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council28 requires Member States whose currency is the euro to have independent fiscal institutions tasked with the endorsement or production of macroeconomic forecasts and establishes specific safeguards regarding their independence and technical capacity. Given the positive contribution to public finance of independent bodies, those requirements should be extended to all Member States. In order to foster fiscal discipline and strengthen the credibility of fiscal policy, such bodies should also contribute to budgetary planning by either producing or endorsing the forecasts and debt analyses used by the government, and by carrying out independent assessments of fiscal policies and monitoring compliance with the fiscal framework. __________________ 28 Regulation (EU) No 473/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 May 2013 on common provisions for monitoring and assessing draft budgetary plans and ensuring the correction of excessive deficit of the Member States in the euro area (OJ L 140, 27.5.2013, p. 11).deleted

Proposal for a directive
Recital 15
(15) To improve budgetary planning, due attention should be paid to the macrofiscal risks from climate change and to the implications of climate-related policies on public finance over the medium and long term.

Amendment 27 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 17
(17) To be effective in promoting budgetary disciplinethe sound management and the sustainability of public finance, budgetary frameworks should comprehensively cover public finances. For that reason, particular attention should be given to operations of those general government bodies and funds which do not form part of the regular budgets at subsector level and that have an immediate or medium-term impact on Member States’ budgetary positions. The values of the combined impact on general government balances and debts of those operations should be presented in the framework of the annual budgetary processes and in the medium-term budgetary plans, capturing impacts stemming from future operations and outstanding and expected new liabilities.
