The largest stimulus package ever

The EU’s long-term budget, coupled with the NextGenerationEU initiative, which is a temporary instrument designed to boost the recovery, will be the largest stimulus package ever financed through the EU budget. A total of €1.8 trillion will help rebuild a post-COVID-19 Europe. It will be a greener, more digital and more resilient Europe.

Next Genaration EU

The new long-term budget will increase flexibility mechanisms to guarantee it has the capacity to address unforeseen needs. It is a budget fit not only for today’s realities but also for tomorrow’s uncertainties.

On 10 November 2020, an agreement was reached between the European Parliament and EU countries in the Council on the next long-term EU budget and NextGenerationEU. This agreement will reinforce specific programmes under the long-term budget for 2021-2027 by a total of €15 billion.

    1. Budget: again EU go down on his/her/it knees for some countries. So it never change.
    2. EU need a team from 1000-2000 people that observe local situation inside the EU, to find corruption, and other crime situations. Is bad but needed.
    3. Klimaat central and east EU still import cars Euro 0 1 2 make a law that everything what come back to car salon/trader go in the junkyard older than 15-20 years. Get the smelly old cars truck vans from the roads. Give subsidies for gas heathers because most can’t pay 2-3000 euro for a condensation CV combi Heather! New EU laws are nice but only if people can buy them.
