In accordance with the provisions of the 12 July 2014 law, the CNFP has assessed compliance with the structural balance rule on the basis of the figures transmitted to the European Commission (Eurostat) in the so-called “EDP notifications”.
These EDP notifications are submitted by the Government/STATEC on 1 April and 1 October of each year and it is on the basis of those figures that the CNFP is called to assess whether the structural balance is complied with or whether there is a ‘significant deviation’ triggering the automatic correction mechanism.
Due to the activation of the general escape clause, the budgetary rule on the structural balance will be respected for the year 2023.
