We will revise the #LatePayment Directive.
Late payments have increased markedly, threating the survival of our SMEs.
Paying on time is more important than ever when SMEs are at risk of bankruptcy due to rapidly increasing prices for energy and raw materials.

In modernising the Stability Pact we must overcome clichés, ready-made ideas and easy divisions pitting the good vs the bad, the frugals vs the profligates.
If we look at the real whole picture of the debt (financial, defence, carbon), the notion of virtue is very subjective.

In all these areas, dependencies are being used as a weapon against us.
