Recital 4
(4) The unprecedented financial crisis and economic downturn that hit the world and the euro area has exposed economic weaknesses in Member States, lacking resilience due to the postponement of structural reforms and thus their limited fiscal capacity to react, and has shown that in the euro area available instruments such as the single monetary policy, automatic fiscal stabilisers and discretionary fiscal policy measures at national level are insufficient to absorb large asymmetric shocks.

Recital 5
(5) In order to facilitate macroeconomic adjustment and cushion large asymmetric shocks in the current institutional set-up, Member States whose currency is the euro and other Member States that participate in the exchange rate mechanism (ERM II) have to rely more heavily on remaining instruments of economic policy, such as automatic fiscal stabilisers and other discretionary fiscal measures, making the adjustment more difficult overall, which highlights the need for adherence to the Stability and Growth Pact in the framework of the EU’s fiscal rules in order to create fiscal space and thus be able to address economic shocks. The sequence of the crisis in euro area also suggests strong reliance on the single monetary policy to provide for macro- economic stabilisation in severe macro- economic circumstances.

(15) Strict eligibility criteria based on compliance with decisions and recommendations underthe Stability and Growth Pact as part of the Union's fiscal and economic surveillance framework over a period of twofive years before the request for EISF support should be fulfilled by the Member State requesting EISF support in order not to diminish the incentive for that Member State to pursue prudent budgetary policies. Compliance with any other eligibility criteria, such as a convergence code, shall only be additional to the EU’s fiscal rules and not in replacement of them.

Recital 19
(19) In addition to loans, interest rate subsidies should be granted to the Member States concerned to cover the interest costs incurred on such loans, as a specific type of financial assistance under Article 220 of the Financial Regulation. Such an interest rate subsidy would provide additional support in parallel to the loan for Member States undergoing an asymmetric shock and facing tight financing conditions on the financial markets. Payment of interest rate subsidies should be strictly conditional upon the availability of sufficient means in the Stabilisation Support Fund.

Recital 28
(28) After that intergovernmental agreement has entered into force, payment of the interest rate subsidy to the Member State concerned should be conditional upon the Member State transferring its yearly contribution to the Stabilisation Support Fund, without exceptions, as the risk of moral hazard and permanent transfers should remain limited. Payment of interest rate subsidies should be strictly conditional upon the availability of sufficient means in the Stabilisation Support Fund, as payments through other funds cannot be guaranteed and would increase the risk of moral hazard. Payment of interest rate subsidies from the Stabilisation Support Fund would be postponed in case the interest rate subsidy to a specific Member State would exceed 320 percent of the available means in the Stabilisation Support Fund at the moment when such payment is due.
