05/04/2019 (Agence Europe) – On Friday 5 April, the Eurogroup declared that it was in line with the European Commission's opinion on the Grand Duchy's updated draft updated draft budgetary plan for 2019. On 22 March, the Commission ruled that this new draft budget plan was fully compatible with the rules of the preventive arm of the Stability and Growth Pact, in view of the reduction of its structural deficit (see EUROPE 12221/24). It will be recalled that due to the holding of parliamentary elections in Luxembourg last October and a new government coming into power in December, an updated draft budgetary plan was submitted to the Commission at the beginning of March.
