Question for written answer E-010773-14
to the Commission
Rule 130
Dimitrios Papadimoulis (GUE/NGL)
According to Article 14 of Regulation (EU) No 472/2013 on surveillance of Member States subject to an economic adjustment programme: ‘A Member State shall be under post-programme surveillance as long as a minimum of 75% of the financial assistance received from one or several other Member States, the EFSM, the ESM or the EFSF has not been repaid’.
In view of the fact that Ireland and Portugal have completed their official adjustment programmes and the above regulation therefore already applies, will the Commission say:
- — As things now stand, how much is 75% of the financial assistance received by the Member States, specifically by Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Cyprus?
- — How long, approximately, will this requirement last for each Member State, based on the corresponding terms of their loan agreements, and what does the ‘enhanced surveillance’ provided for under Articles 2 and 3 of Regulation (EU) No 472/2013 entail?
- — Are the loan agreements signed by the Member States accessible to the public and to MEPs, given that the loans in question were granted within the framework of the European Union and under the Commission’s supervision?
