The N-VA wants European investigation committee for Greek chaos

The N-VA delegation in the European Parliament demands that an investigation committee examine the Greek chaos. “This crisis not only affects the prosperity of the Greek citizens, but that of all Europeans, including the Flemish taxpayer,” the four N-VA Members of European Parliament agree. “It is our democratic duty to expose all causes and responsibilities. We must be able to get clear insight into who was serving what interests over the last years.”

The ECR The N-VA is a member of the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR), a conservative, eurorealistic parliamentary group in the European Parliament. The N-VA shares their realistic view of the European project and also advocates for the correct and intensive application of the subsidiarity principle. For example, we must not be afraid to ask ourselves if it would be better to leave certain European initiatives to the Member States. The N-VA also identifies with the emphases that the ECR places on the social-economic issues. Since the 2014 elections, the ECR has become the third largest parliamentary group in the European Parliament. ECR party, which the N-VA in the European Parliament is part of, has asked for a transparent debate about the crisis in Greece before. “The majority refused to put it on the agenda every time. Now they only want to organise a private discussion with the Greek policyholders behind closed doors. But the Greek citizens and all the European taxpayers have a right to transparency,” says N-VA Member of European Parliament Sander Loones. Thus the roles of the European Commission, the International Monetary Fund ( IMF The International Monetary Fund (IMF), established in 1945, focuses on monetary issues. The global organisation is governed by and accountable to the 188 member countries. In addition to financial stability, monetary cooperation and international trade, the IMF promotes and supports employment, sustainable economic growth and combating poverty. In this regard, it provides loans, technical assistance, specialised training courses and advice to governments. It also monitors financial trends. IMF ), the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Euro Group must be examined. And of course, clarity must be found regarding the actions of the various Greek governments.

Sleeping pill
Lastly, Loones refers to the fact that the implementation of the euro has had the effect of a sleeping pill. Several countries obtained access to cheap loans that way, which enabled them to live above their means for a long time. “If we want to avoid situations like in Greece in the future, we must reinforce the monetary union, in particular by holding the Member States accountable for their policy choices again.”
