There will be no surprises. Yes the odd sting: Brussels is tired of unfulfilled calendars of half-hearted reforms that do not quite work, and warns that it will strengthen surveillance on Spain. The Commission presents specific recommendations tomorrow Spain, which according to sources will leave a strong idea above others Europe is dissatisfied with the reform program implemented and intends to defend Spanish economy closely. After Madrid agreed with the guidelines of the National Reform Plan, Brussels prevents the opening of disciplinary proceedings for excessive imbalances, but that will be on the table until the last minute. But instead wants to ensure that the measures adopted by the Government finally meet agreed in a timely manner. "Enough of promises," summarizes a community source.
The setting is on the appropriate line, but the Commission wants to complete once and for all the reform program promised a thousand times. Brussels demands, in order to deepen in this way the same day formally proposed to give Spain two years to meet the deficit. The Commission changes the step: put the emphasis on reform and austerity in the view that depressive symptoms Spanish recession, unemployment continues to break Olympic records or even reduce the deficit all expectations.
The EC is upset by poor administration modernization
That hint of a turn does not relieve Spain of occasional extra twist. Brussels considers that the measures taken so far are insufficient pension, waiting for the second generation of reform that includes a reduction of benefits by way of discount factor (the formula for calculating pensions). The Executive Committee agreed with this and other changes two months ago, according to La Moncloa, with a view to some of the amendments take effect immediately: the implementation of the new factor of sustainability of pensions in 2032, as provided for previous reform meant leaving too much burden of adjustment "for future generations," according to European sources. The report of the sages to whom the Government commissioned the reform is on the same line.
Energy reform is another unresolved
The team's vice president Rehn calls for a review of the labor reform, which in the opinion of the Commission has improved internal flexibility and aspects of collective bargaining, but has not given the expected results in the reduction of labor market duality (between permanent and temporary).
The Government has already committed to Brussels to have ready the review in early July. Also to give new impetus to active employment policies, parallel to increased emphasis placed Brussels and Berlin in the fight against youth unemployment. In that vein, Madrid continues with the promises: the Executive has plans for more flexible entrepreneurs contract that allows freelancers and small businesses to hire young free for one year layoff.
Nothing lower taxes
The recommendations include the outline of a tax reform. Brussels wants, in the case of Spain, a 'systematic review of taxation ", according to a draft text of the recommendations, in favor of a model that stops less growth. The drop in revenue, according to the Commission, close the door to tax cuts promised by the Government, and more generally road blocks Aznar, and opens the way to new highs. With two clear targets: the recommendations are reclaiming the ability to "explore" super-reduced VAT rises, or to limit the list of products that can apply the lower rates. But not in tourism but related, for example, the health sector, government sources clarified.
The document calls for a systematic review of taxation
It is taken for granted increases in energy-related environmental taxes and fuel. Moreover, Brussels warns that property taxes do not provide sufficient resources and autonomy are very different. And it aims to control the instruments of budgetary stability law (early warning mechanisms) do not work.
The Commission is visibly upset with the measures that are conspicuously absent: the modernization of public administration, in procurement systems, for example, the acceleration of energy reform and liberalization of services and regulated professions, in which breaches are blatant. And it puts emphasis on the fight against poverty and social exclusion, with some 700,000 people in that situation.
The crash closed the door income to the tax
The political background of the recommendations is thorny. A faction of the Commission and some of the members wanted more toughness. Because deep trust nobody finishes Spain. But while the Government of Rajoy appears as one of the greatest exponents of a policy (austerity and reform) begins to cross their limits and does not give the expected results. Amid this clip, Madrid is stalling waiting for a recovery that does not come with a financial system that is raising questions with rampant unemployment and the crisis ultimately bone scraping.
