HERE'S RANKING OF THE BEST PIANI SVILUPPISTI DEI PAESI UE
Giuseppe Pennisi
Nel “semestre europeo” avviato in queste settimane, il Piano Nazionale di Riforme (PNR) è lo strumento per promuovere la crescita. La sua definizione simultaneamente con quella del Piano di Stabilità e Convergenza (PSC) ha lo scopo di assicurare che risanamento della finanza pubblica e programmi di sviluppo vadano di pari passo tra loro ed in tutti i Paesi dell’UE (in particolare in quelli dell’eurozona). I PNR sono attesi a Bruxelles per il 15 aprile. Il PNR italiano verrà presentato al Parlamento il 10 aprile.
Il PNR italiano, varato dal Consiglio dei Ministri il 5 novembre, è in fase di revisione alla luce non solo dei più ambiziosi obiettivi announced by the Government but also the "Growth Survey" (review of the potential for growth) from the European Commission on January 12. In fact, although many NRPs are adjusted in these days, the documents of others help us see if we can incorporate some ideas, and to draw lessons for next year. A comparative analysis is made easier by the fact that the various NRP follow the same pattern: a) macro-economic scenario in the medium term, b) the specific national objectives to reach those of Europe 2020; c) short-term measures to give substance ab ).
Among the large Member States, Germany, followed by France, is what has kept the document more carefully. Even Germany and France, however, expressed with clarity "reform." The European Commission itself has made it clear that this aspect will be addressed gradually. The NRP German shows no inhibitions melt structural nodes (especially public finance) and gives priority to employment growth as a tool for the improvement of public finance (the busiest means more revenue and lower costs of capital) and for the inclusion of sections on the margins of society. With regard to employment of the aged over 55 and women, Germany and France put more ambitious targets than those of Europe 2020, while the PNR November 5 if they put lower than the EU, justifying it with "low base".
Marked differences especially with regard to human capital formation. PNR in Austria, France, Germany, Finland, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovak Republic and Sweden, it is proposed to include school drop by 4 percent and 9 percent by 2020 (the EU target is 10) while in the Italian document last November is aimed at 15-16 percent. In terms of higher education (university and equivalent), we are 22.3 percent of the relevant age group and offer (PRN in November) to get to 26-27 per cent (only Romania has a goal less) than 60 per cent of Ireland, 50 per cent in Belgium, Cyprus, France and Poland and more than 40 percent of Germany, Portugal, Spain, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovenia. Even more, the gap in scientific research: Most EU countries have already spent in scientific research that exceed 2 percent of GDP (in November we've set ourselves the target one, compared to 53 percent ' 1 percent now) and propose more ambitious goals of 3 percent expected in Europe 2020.
Our goals are lower than those of others - he says - because of the priority to be given to the consolidation of public finances. Other EU countries have more complex situations budget, but nevertheless give priority to real growth. We could do with a stronger program of liberalization: the Treasury Department has the equipment for that purpose, described in an elegant working paper issued last week at an international level.
