Von der Leyen EU debates on the 2023 Enlargement Package and the new Growth Plan for the Western Bal

Subscribe here: https://bit.ly/eudebates European Commission adopted a new Growth Plan for the Western Balkans, with the aim of bringing some of the benefits of membership to the region in advance of accession, boost economic growth and accelerate much needed socio-economic convergence. The objective should be to enable partners to step up reforms and investments to significantly accelerate the speed of the enlargement process and the growth of their economies. For this, a new €6 billion Reform and Growth Facility for the Western Balkans has been proposed for the period 2024-2027. Payments will happen only after the fulfilment of agreed reforms. The new Growth Plan for the Western Balkans is based on four pillars, aimed at: Enhancing economic integration with the European Union's single market, subject to the Western Balkans aligning with single market rules and opening the relevant sectors and areas to all their neighbours at the same time, in line with the Common Regional Market. Seven priority actions are suggested: 1. Free movement of goods; 2. Free movement of services and workers; 3. Access to the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA); 4. Facilitation of Road transport; 5. Integration and de-carbonisation of Energy markets; 6. Digital Single Market; 7. Integration into industrial supply chains Boosting economic integration within the Western Balkans through the Common Regional Market, based on EU rules and standards, which could potentially add 10% to their economies; Accelerating fundamental reforms, including on the fundamentals cluster, supporting the Western Balkans' path towards EU membership, improving sustainable economic growth including through attracting foreign investments and strengthening regional stability; Increasing financial assistance to support the reforms through a Reform and Growth Facility for the Western Balkans for the period 2024-2027, a proposal for a new instrument worth €6 billion, consisting of €2 billion in grants and €4 billion in concessional loans, with payment conditioned on the Western Balkans' partners fulfilling specific socio-economic and fundamental reforms. As part of the Growth Plan, every Western Balkan partner will be invited to prepare a Reform Agenda based on existing recommendations including from the annual Enlargement Package and the countries' Economic Reform Programmes (ERP). This Reform Agenda will be consulted with, assessed and adopted by the Commission. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said: “With today's adoption of the new €6 billion Growth Plan for the Western Balkans, we are bringing the Western Balkans economies closer to the EU. The potential of this Growth Plan is extraordinary. This Growth Plan could double the economy of the Western Balkans in the next 10 years. With its combination of reforms and investments, it will allow the Western Balkan to benefit soon from key areas of our single market, including free movement of goods, services and workers, the single euro payments area, transport, energy and the digital single market.” Stay connected with us!
