I voted in favour of this report. This annual report recognises the importance of continuance to the financial stability of the Eurozone, especially during this time of the pandemic. We must do all we can to ensure that our businesses, particularly our small businesses and micro-enterprises, are able to have access to the finance they need in order to cover their costs as they continue to feel the impact of the shocks caused by the pandemic.

I voted in favour of this report. It is important that we have a budget that can weather the worst of the expected economic downturn which no EU Member State can shoulder alone. The 2021 budget must therefore reflect the level of ambition that all European citizens expect the EU to rise to.
