With regard to the European Parliament resolution on the scoreboard for the surveillance of macroeconomic imbalances, I voted in favour of Amendments 5 and 6, in which we call on the Commission to table proposals for indicators on inequality of incomes and on reducing poverty, and which highlight that the unemployment indicator must be regarded as being independent, at the same level as the other indicators. I also voted for Amendment 1 which states that the thresholds advocated until now for current account imbalances (+6%, -4%) are inconsistent with the principle of symmetry and blatantly favour, on an ex-ante basis, Member States with current account surpluses.
I voted for Amendment 2 which emphasises that the approach adopted for unit labour costs hardly seems consistent with the provisions of Article 6 of the regulation on the prevention and correction of macroeconomic imbalances, which refers explicitly to full compliance with Article 152 of TFEU, as it sets, on an ex-ante basis, a level for nominal wage increases which would trigger the alert mechanism even in contexts where GDP and productivity growth rates would allow for an increase beyond the defined threshold."@en1
