Peress li l-virus tas-SARS-CoV-2 ġie kklassifikat fil-grupp ta' riskju 3 f'konformità mas-SARS-CoV-1 u l-MERS, il-Kummissjoni tenfasizza li dan jimplika li f'termini materjali d-drittijiet u l-obbligi speċifiċi u stretti stabbiliti fl-Artikoli 7, 11, 13, 14(4), 15 u 16 se jkunu koperti. 0.9565217391304348 This is also in line with Article 19 of the Biological Agents Directive as well as Article 16 of the Framework Directive 89/391/EEC.

F'Lulju 2019, l-Organizzazzjoni Dinjija tas-Saħħa (WHO) iddikjarat l-epidemija tal-virus tal-Ebola fir-Repubblika Demokratika tal-Kongo (RDK) bħala Emerġenza tas-Saħħa Pubblika ta' Tħassib Internazzjonali u l-virus għadu jitqies bħala marda ta' riskju għoli. 0.797752808988764 Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/570 (2) sets out the initial composition of rescEU in terms of capacities and quality requirements.

Il-pandemija tal-COVID-19 li għaddejja bħalissa ser twassal għal tnaqqis sostanzjali ta' emissjonijiet ta' CO2 mill-avjazzjoni internazzjonali fl-2020. 0.9256080114449213 According to Article 28b(2) and (3) of Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) , within 12 months of the adoption by the ICAO of the relevant instruments and before the global market-based measure becomes operational, the Commission should present a report to the European Parliament and to the Council in which it should consider ways for those instruments to be implemented in Union law through a revision of that Directive and should present a proposal to implement CORSIA, as appropriate, consistent with ensuring the contribution of aviation to the Union's 2030 economy-wide greenhouse gas reduction commitment, Skont l-Artikolu 28b(2) u (3) tad-Direttiva 2003/87/KE tal-Parlament Ewropew u tal-Kunsill (2) , fi żmien 12-il xahar mill-adozzjoni mill-ICAO tal-istrumenti rilevanti u qabel ma l-miżura globali bbażata fuq is-suq issir operazzjonali, jenħtieġ li l-Kummissjoni tippreżenta rapport lill-Parlament Ewropew u lill-Kunsill li fih jenħtieġ li tikkunsidra modi kif dawk l-istrumenti għandhom jiġu implimentati fil-liġi tal-Unjoni permezz ta' reviżjoni ta' dik id-Direttiva u jenħtieġ li tippreżenta proposta għall-implimentazzjoni ta' CORSIA, kif xieraq, konsistenti mal-iżgurar tal-kontribut tal-avjazzjoni għall-impenn tal-Unjoni li tnaqqas il-gassijiet b'effett ta' serra fl-ekonomija kollha sal-2030, 1.0208333333333333 Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 192(1), in conjunction with Article 218(9) thereof, Wara li kkunsidra t-Trattat dwar il-Funzjonament tal-Unjoni Ewropea, u b'mod partikolari l-Artikolu 192(1), flimkien mal-Artikolu 218(9) tiegħu, 0.9101796407185628 While the Union and its Member States have consistently advocated for a global reduction target for greenhouse gas emissions from international aviation at a level no higher than 2020 levels, it appears under the present circumstances that a reference to 2019 as the baseline period is the closest possible proxy based on real data for the purposes of mirroring ICAO's long term goal of carbon neutral growth from 2020, as established in Resolution A 39-3. Filwaqt li l-Unjoni u l-Istati Membri tagħha sostnew pożizzjoni konsistenti favur mira għal tnaqqis globali ta' emissjonijiet ta' gassijiet b'effett ta' serra mill-avjazzjoni internazzjonali f'livell mhux ogħla mil-livelli tal-2020, iċ-ċirkostanzi attwali juru li l-perijodu ta' referenza għandu jsemmi l-2019 bħala l-eqreb alternattiva possibbli bbażata fuq data reali bl-iskop li tirrifletti l-mira fit-tul tal-ICAO għal tkabbir newtrali fil-karbonju mill-2020, kif stabbilit mir-Riżoluzzjoni A39-3. 0.9333333333333333 The relevance of such review is underscored by the need to ensure consistency with a long-term aspirational CO2 emissions reduction goal, consistent with the temperature goals of the Paris Agreement, to be considered by the ICAO Assembly. Ir-rilevanza ta' tali rieżami hija ssottolinjata mill-ħtieġa li tiġi żgurata konsistenza ma' mira fit-tul mixtieqa għat-tnaqqis fl-emissjonijiet ta' CO2, konsistenti mal-miri għat-temperatura tal-Ftehim ta' Pariġi, li trid titqies mill-Assemblea tal-ICAO. 0.9390243902439024 On 27 June 2018, at the tenth meeting of its 214th session, the ICAO Council adopted the First Edition of Volume IV of Annex 16 to the Convention: the International Standards and Recommended Practices on Environmental Protection - Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation ('CORSIA'). Fis-27 ta' Ġunju 2018, fl-għaxar laqgħa tal-214-il sessjoni tiegħu, il-Kunsill tal-ICAO adotta l-Ewwel Edizzjoni tal-Volum IV tal-Anness 16 għall-Konvenzjoni: l-Istandards Internazzjonali u l-Prattiki Rakkomandati dwar il-Ħarsien Ambjentali - Skema ta' Kumpens u Tnaqqis tal-Karbonju għall-Avjazzjoni Internazzjonali ("CORSIA"). 0.849624060150376 In line with Resolution A39-3, which was superseded by Resolution A40-19 adopted by the ICAO Assembly during its 40th session ('Resolution A40-19'), that First Edition establishes inter alia the emissions values which are to be used to calculate growth factors (both the Sector's Growth Factor and the Aeroplane Operators' Growth Factors). F'konformità mar-Riżoluzzjoni A39-3, li ġiet sostitwita mir-Riżoluzzjoni A40-19 adottata mill-Assemblea tal-ICAO waqt l-40 sessjoni tagħha ("ir-Riżoluzzjoni A40-19"), dik l-Ewwel Edizzjoni tistabbilixxi fost l-oħrajn il-valuri tal-emissjonijiet li għandhom jintużaw għall-kalkolu tal-fatturi ta' żieda (kemm il-Fattur ta' Żieda tas-Settur kif ukoll il-Fatturi ta' Żieda tal-Operaturi tal-Ajruplani). 0.9344262295081968 The principle of regular review should continue to apply. Jenħtieġ li l-prinċipju ta' rieżami regolari jibqa' japplika. 0.8125 In 2016, in its Resolution A39-3 ('Resolution A39-3'), the 39th Assembly of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), established by the Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation ('the Convention') decided to develop a global market‐based measure to limit greenhouse gas emissions from international aviation at their 2020 levels. Fl-2016, fir-Riżoluzzjoni A39-3 tagħha (ir-"Riżoluzzjoni A39-3"), id-39 Assemblea tal-Organizzazzjoni tal-Avjazzjoni Ċivili Internazzjonali (ICAO), stabbilita mill-Konvenzjoni ta' Chicago dwar l-Avjazzjoni Ċivili Internazzjonali ("il-Konvenzjoni") iddeċidiet li tiżviluppa miżura globali bbażata fuq is-suq biex tillimita l-emissjonijiet ta' gassijiet b'effett ta' serra mill-avjazzjoni internazzjonali fil-livelli tagħhom tal-2020. 0.7142857142857143 of 12 June 2020 tat-12 ta' Ġunju 2020 0.9863636363636363 Having regard to Directive (EU) 2016/797 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 May 2016 on the interoperability of the rail system within the European Union (1) , and in particular Article 5(11) thereof, Wara li kkunsidrat id-Direttiva (UE) 2016/797 tal-Parlament Ewropew u tal-Kunsill tal-11 ta' Mejju 2016 dwar l-interoperabbiltà tas-sistema ferrovjarja fl-Unjoni Ewropea (1) , u b'mod partikolari l-Artikolu 5(11) tagħha, 0.81640625 amending Decision 2012/757/EU as regards measures to adapt the frequency of periodic medical examination of railway staff undertaking safety-critical tasks other than train drivers due to the COVID-19 pandemic li temenda d-Deċiżjoni 2012/757/UE fir-rigward ta' miżuri għall-adattament tal-frekwenza tal-eżamijiet mediċi perjodiċi tal-persunal ferrovjarju li jwettaq kompiti kritiċi għas-sikurezza, minbarra s-sewwieqa tal-ferroviji, minħabba l-pandemija tal-COVID-19 1.2867383512544803 As a result of those measures, the frequency of periodic medical examinations of staff undertaking safety-critical tasks other than train drivers set out in point 4.7.2.2.1 of Annex I to Commission Decision 2012/757/EU (2) could not be met.

Il-ħruġ ta' voucher b'mod parallel ma' skemi ta' rimborż fuq il-karti tal-kreditu jista' fl-aħħar mill-aħħar iwassal għal forma ta' rifużjoni doppja. 0.8823529411764706 The Temporary Framework provides a basis for compatibility for such liquidity support, enabling operators in the travel and transport sectors inter alia to receive such support in the form of public guarantees or subsidised loans to cover their actual liquidity needs for periods, subject to due justification, of 18 months for SMEs and 12 months for large enterprises (25) . Il-Qafas Temporanju jipprovdi bażi għall-kompatibilità għal tali appoġġ ta' likwidità, li tippermetti lill-operaturi fis-setturi tal-ivvjaġġar u tat-trasport, inter alia, jirċievu tali appoġġ fil-forma ta' garanziji pubbliċi jew self sussidjat biex jiġu koperti l-bżonnijiet reali ta' likwidità tagħhom għal perjodi, soġġetti għal ġustifikazzjoni xierqa, ta' 18-il xahar għall-SMEs u ta' 12-il xahar għall-impriżi kbar (25) . 0.8928571428571429 As regards possible additional liquidity needs of operators in the travel and transport sectors, on 19 March 2020 the Commission adopted a Temporary Framework for State aid measures to support the economy in the current COVID-19 crisis (19) based on Article 107(3)(b) of the Treaty to remedy a serious disturbance to the economy in the Member States.

Iċ-ċifri ppubblikati mill-Eurocontrol, li hija l-operatur tan-netwerk għall-funzjonijiet tan-netwerk tat-traffiku tal-arju tal-Ajru Uniku Ewropew, jindikaw tnaqqis fuq bażi ta' sena wara sena ta' madwar 10 % fit-traffiku tal-ajru għar-reġjun Ewropew fl-ewwel nofs ta' Marzu 2020. 0.8677685950413223 Air carriers are reporting large falls in forward bookings and are implementing significant cancellations of flights into the ‘winter 2019/2020' and ‘summer 2020' scheduling periods as a result of the outbreak.

Huwa diffiċli li wieħed jipprevedi l-evoluzzjoni ulterjuri ta' COVID-19 u l-impatt ulterjuri tiegħu fuq it-trasportaturi tal-ajru. 0.8409090909090909 Article 10(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 95/93 allows slot coordinators to disregard, for the purpose of calculating historical precedence, the non-operation of airport slots for periods during which the air carrier is unable to operate the planned air services due to, for example, airport closures. L-Artikolu 10(4) tar-Regolament (KEE) Nru 95/93 jippermetti lill-koordinaturi tas-slots biex, għall-fini tal-kalkolu tal-preċedenza storika, ma jqisux in-nuqqas ta' utilizzazzjoni tas-slots tal-ajruport għall-perijodi li matulhom it-trasportatur tal-ajru ma jkunx jista' jopera s-servizzi tal-ajru ppjanati minħabba, pereżempju, l-għeluq tal-ajruporti. 0.9074889867841409 The outbreak of COVID-19 has led to a sharp drop in air traffic as a result of a significant fall in demand and direct measures taken by the Member States as well as third countries to contain the outbreak. It-tifqigħa ta' COVID-19 wasslet għal tnaqqis kbir fit-traffiku tal-ajru bħala riżultat ta' tnaqqis sinifikanti fid-domanda u miżuri diretti meħuda mill-Istati Membri kif ukoll minn pajjiżi terzi biex jikkontrollaw it-tifqigħa. 0.9214092140921409 The consequent serious impact on air carriers set in as early as January 2020 in respect of the People's Republic of China and Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, has been pervasive since 1 March 2020, and is likely to affect at least two scheduling periods, those of winter 2019/2020 and summer 2020.

(‘ABE') stabbilita mir-Regolament (UE) Nru 1093/2010 tal-Parlament Ewropew u tal-Kunsill (9) , l-Awtorità Superviżorja Ewropea (Awtorità Ewropea tat-Titoli u s-Swieq)) (‘AETS') stabbilita mir-Regolament (UE) Nru 1095/2010 tal-Parlament Ewropew u tal-Kunsill (10) u l-awtoritajiet kompetenti pprovdew kapital, likwidità u għajnuna operazzjonali temporanji lill-istituzzjonijiet biex jiżguraw li l-istituzzjonijiet jkunu jistgħu jkomplu jwettqu r-rwol tagħhom fil-finanzjament tal-ekonomija reali minkejja l-ambjent aktar diffiċli. 0.8737864077669902 Many institutions operating in the Union have been subject to IFRS 9 since 1 January 2018. Ħafna istituzzjonijiet li joperaw fl-Unjoni kienu soġġetti għall-IFRS 9 mill-1 ta' Jannar 2018 'l hawn. 1.0052631578947369 Evidence which has emerged in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic has made it apparent that the possibility of temporarily excluding certain exposures to central banks from the calculation of an institution's total exposure measure, as laid down in Article 429a of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 as amended by Regulation (EU) 2019/876, could prove essential during a crisis situation. L-evidenza li ħarġet fil-kuntest tal-pandemija tal-COVID-19 għamlitha ċara li l-possibbiltà li ċerti skoperturi għal banek ċentrali jiġu esklużi temporanjament mill-kalkolu tal-miżura ta' skopertura totali ta' istituzzjoni, kif stabbilit fl-Artikolu 429a tar-Regolament (UE) Nru 575/2013 kif emendat bir-Regolament (UE) 2019/876, tista' tkun essenzjali waqt sitwazzjoni ta' kriżi. 0.9364406779661016 Regulation (EU) 2019/630 of the European Parliament and of the Council (7) introduced in Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 a requirement for minimum loss coverage for non-performing exposures, the so-called prudential backstop. Ir-Regolament (UE) 2019/630 tal-Parlament Ewropew u tal-Kunsill (7) introduċa fir-Regolament (UE) Nru 575/2013 rekwiżit għall-kopertura minima għat-telf għal skoperturi improduttivi, l-hekk imsejħa garanzija ta' kontinġenza prudenzjali. 0.950354609929078 The back-testing requirement is highly procyclical in a period of extreme volatility, such as the one caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Ir-rekwiżit ta' kontroll retrospettiv huwa proċikliku ferm f'perijodu ta' volatilità estrema, bħal dik ikkawżata mill-pandemija tal-COVID-19. 0.9295774647887324 Therefore, additional flexibility for competent authorities to mitigate the negative effects of the extreme market volatility observed during the COVID-19 pandemic should be introduced to exclude the overshootings that occurred between 1 January 2020 and 31 December 2021 which are not a result of deficiencies in internal models. Għalhekk, jenħtieġ li aktar flessibbiltà għall-awtoritajiet kompetenti biex jimmitigaw l-effetti negattivi tal-volatilità estrema fis-swieq osservata matul il-pandemija tal-COVID-19 tiġi introdotta sabiex jiġu esklużi l-qabżiet fil-valur li okkorrew bejn l-1 ta' Jannar 2020 u l-31 ta' Diċembru 2021 li mhumiex riżultat ta' defiċjenzi fil-mudelli interni. 0.8604651162790697 EBA, the European Central Bank and other competent authorities have issued recommendations for institutions to suspend dividend payments and share buybacks during the COVID-19 pandemic. L-ABE, il-Bank Ċentrali Ewropew u awtoritajiet kompetenti oħrajn ħarġu rakkomandazzjonijiet għall-istituzzjonijiet biex jissospendu l-ħlasijiet ta' dividendi u r-riakkwisti ta' ishma matul il-pandemija tal-COVID-19. 0.8939393939393939 The competent authority should ensure that such reversals are not motivated by considerations of regulatory arbitrage. L-awtorità kompetenti jenħtieġ li tiżgura li tali treġġigħ lura ma jkunx motivat minn kunsiderazzjonijiet ta' arbitraġġ regulatorju. 0.7931937172774869 Among those changes, Regulation (EU) 2017/2395 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6) introduced transitional arrangements in Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 for mitigating the impact on own funds of the introduction of International Financial Reporting Standard - Financial Instruments (IFRS 9). Fost dawk il-bidliet, ir-Regolament (UE) 2017/2395 tal-Parlament Ewropew u tal-Kunsill (6) introduċa arranġamenti tranżizzjonali fir-Regolament (UE) Nru 575/2013 biex jittaffa l-impatt fuq il-fondi proprji mill-introduzzjoni tal-Istandard Internazzjonali tar-Rappurtar Finanzjarju - Strumenti Finanzjarji (IFRS 9, International Financial Reporting Standard - Financial Instruments). 0.7142857142857143 of 23 June 2020 tat-23 ta' Ġunju 2020 0.8728813559322034 In Implementing Regulation (EU) No 897/2014 the term ‘final reports' is used in two different contexts. Fir-Regolament ta' Implimentazzjoni (UE) Nru 897/2014 it-terminu "rapporti finali" jintuża f'żewġ kuntesti differenti. 0.8256410256410256 Therefore, as regards the accounting year from 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020, audit authorities should be allowed to make use of a non-statistical sampling method. Għaldaqstant, f'dak li jikkonċerna s-sena kontabilistika mill-1 ta' Lulju 2019 sat-30 ta' Ġunju 2020, l-awtoritajiet tal-awditjar jenħtieġ li jitħallew jużaw metodu ta' kampjunar mhux statistiku. 0.8758169934640523 Unlike Article 65(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6) , which sets out 31 December 2023 as the final date for eligibility of expenditure with regard to cross-border cooperation programmes financed under the ETC goal, Implementing Regulation (EU) No 897/2014 does not set out such a date linked to expenditure with regard to cross-border cooperation programmes under the European Neighbourhood Instrument, but sets out certain deadlines linked to the project cycle and project activities. Bil-kuntrarju tal-Artikolu 65(2) tar-Regolament (UE) Nru 1303/2013 tal-Parlament Ewropew u tal-Kunsill (6) , li jistabbilixxi l-31 ta' Diċembru 2023 bħala d-data finali għall-eliġibbiltà tan-nefqa fir-rigward tal-programmi ta' kooperazzjoni transfruntiera ffinanzjati fil-kuntest tal-objettiv tal-KTE, ir-Regolament ta' Implimentazzjoni (UE) Nru 897/2014 ma jistabbilixxix tali data marbuta man-nefqa fir-rigward tal-programmi ta' kooperazzjoni transfruntiera ffinanzjati fl-ambitu tal-Istrument Ewropew ta' Viċinat, iżda jistabbilixxi ċerti skadenzi b'rabta mal-ċiklu tal-proġett u mal-attivitajiet tal-proġett. 0.8941605839416058 In order to ensure consistency between the provisions of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 and Implementing Regulation (EU) No 897/2014, the implementation of both types of cross-border cooperation programmes should be aligned to the extent possible. Sabiex tiġi żgurata l-konsistenza bejn id-dispożizzjonijiet tar-Regolament (UE) Nru 1303/2013 u r-Regolament ta' Implimentazzjoni (UE) Nru 897/2014, l-implimentazzjoni taż-żewġ tipi ta' programmi ta' kooperazzjoni transfruntiera jenħtieġ li tiġi allinjata sa fejn possibbli. 0.6190476190476191 of 4 May 2020 tat-30 ta' Mejju 2020 1.2708333333333333 Temporary derogations from Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/891 REGOLAMENT DELEGAT TAL-KUMMISSJONI (UE) 2020/884 1.0026109660574412 Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (2) , and in particular Articles 37, 53, and 173 in conjunction with Article 227 thereof, Wara li kkunsidrat ir-Regolament (UE) Nru 1308/2013 tal-Parlament Ewropew u tal-Kunsill tas-17 ta' Diċembru 2013 li jistabbilixxi organizzazzjoni komuni tas-swieq fi prodotti agrikoli u li jħassar ir-Regolamenti tal-Kunsill (KEE) Nru 922/72, (KEE) Nru 234/79, (KE) Nru 1037/2001 u (KE) Nru 1234/2007 (2) , u b'mod partikolari l-Artikoli 37, 53 u 173 flimkien mal-Artikolu 227 tiegħu, 0.9722222222222222 Logistical problems and shortage of workforce have made those farmers vulnerable to the economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sabiex l-operaturi jiġu megħjuna biex jirrispondu għaċ-ċirkostanzi eċċezzjonali attwali u jindirizzaw din is-sitwazzjoni imprevedibbli u prekarja, huwa xieraq li titħalla aktar flessibbiltà fl-implimentazzjoni tal-miżuri skont l-Artikoli 22, 26, 53(1) u 54 tar-Regolament Delegat (UE) 2016/1149. 0.8352272727272727 Partial implementation of restructuring and conversion of vineyards, investments and innovation operations without sanction should also be allowed.

Il-kompetenza tal-BĊE biex jagħti opinjoni hija bbażata fuq l-Artikolu 127(4), it-tieni paragrafu, tat-Trattat, peress illi r-Regolament propost jikkonċerna funzjonijiet monetarji u l-operazzjonijiet tas-SEBĊ taħt il-Kapitolu IV tal-Istatut tas-Sistema Ewropea ta' Banek Ċentrali u tal-Bank Ċentrali Ewropew (minn hawn 'il quddiem l-‘Istatut tas-SEBĊ'), u b'mod partikolari l-Artikoli 17 u 21.2 tal-Istatut tas-SEBĊ, li jipprovdu illi l-BĊE u l-banek ċentrali nazzjonali (BĊNi) jistgħu jiftħu kontijiet għal, inter alia, entitajiet pubbliċi u jistgħu jaġixxu bħala aġenti fiskali għall-istituzzjonijiet tal-Unjoni u gvernijiet ċentrali. 1.1376811594202898 In accordance with the first sentence of Article 17.5 of the Rules of Procedure of the European Central Bank, the Governing Council has adopted this opinion. Skont l-ewwel sentenza tal-Artikolu 17.5 tar-Regoli ta' Proċedura tal-Bank Ċentrali Ewropew, il-Kunsill Governattiv adotta din l-opinjoni. 0.9457943925233645 The instrument to be established under the proposed regulation (the ‘SURE instrument') would provide financial assistance in the form of loans (‘SURE loans') by the European Union to Member States experiencing, or seriously threatened with, a severe economic disturbance caused by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak for the financing of short-time work or similar measures aimed to protect employees and the self-employed and thus reduce the incidence of unemployment and loss of income (2) . L-istrument li se jiġi stabbilit taħt ir-regolament propost (‘l-istrument SURE') se jipprovdi assistenza finanzjarja fil-forma ta' self (‘self SURE') mill-Unjoni Ewropea lill-iStati Membri li qegħdin jesperjenzaw jew ikunu mhedda serjament minn tfixkil economiku gravi, ikkawżat mit-tifqigħa tal-marda coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) għall-finanzjament ta' miżuri ta' xogħol b'ħinijiet qosra jew miżuri simili bl-għan li jiġu protetti l-impjegati u dawk li jaħdmu għal rashom u b'hekk titnaqqas l-inċidenza tal-qgħad u t-telf tal-introjtu. 1.0107142857142857 On 2 April 2020 the European Commission adopted a proposal for a Council Regulation on the establishment of a European instrument for temporary support to mitigate unemployment risks in an emergency (SURE) following the COVID-19 outbreak (hereinafter the ‘proposed regulation') (1) .

Filwaqt li r-restrizzjonijiet fuq l-ivvjaġġar ġeneralment ma jitqisux mill-Organizzazzjoni Dinjija tas-Saħħa bħala l-aktar mod effettiv biex tiġi miġġielda pandemija, it-tifrix rapidu tas-COVID-19 jagħmilha essenzjali li l-UE u l-Istati Membri jieħdu azzjoni urġenti, immedjata u miftiehma mhux biss biex jipproteġu s-saħħa pubblika tal-popolazzjonijiet tagħna, iżda wkoll biex jipprevjenu li l-virus ikompli jinfirex mill-UE lejn pajjiżi oħra, kif ġie osservat f'dawn l-aħħar ġimgħat. 0.8378378378378378 - all EU citizens 4 and citizens of the Schengen Associated States, and their family members; - iċ-ċittadini kollha tal-UE 4 u ċ-ċittadini tal-Istati Assoċjati ta' Schengen, u l-membri tal-familja tagħhom; 0.8055555555555556 The temporary travel restriction should apply for 30 days.

Fl-aħħar Komunikazzjonijiet tagħha dwar ir-reċiproċità tal-viża minn Diċembru 2017 u Diċembru 2018, il-Kummissjoni pprovdiet ħarsa ġenerali lejn is-sitwazzjoni attwali u t-triq ‘il quddiem fir-rigward tas-sitwazzjoni ta' nuqqas ta' reċiproċità mal-Istati Uniti (innotifikata mill-Bulgarija, il-Kroazja, Ċipru, il-Polonja u r-Rumanija), bħala l-uniku każ li fadal ta' nuqqas ta' reċiproċità. 0.9966329966329966 In line with the commitments to provide more concrete guidance to the Member States concerned, the United States presented a detailed questionnaire (developed by the Department of Homeland Security) 15 in order to map technical Visa Waiver Program security requirements in a more transparent way.

Din il-Komunikazzjoni qiegħda ssir fi żmien ta' proliferazzjoni ta' miżuri relatati mal-viża meħuda minn ħafna pajjiżi biex jiġġieldu l-pandemija globali ta' COVID-19. 0.9169960474308301 The clause, as set out in Articles 5(1), 6(3), 9(1) and 10(3) of Regulation (EC) 1466/97 and Articles 3(5) and 5(2) of Regulation (EC) 1467/97, facilitates the coordination of budgetary policies in times of severe economic downturn. Il-klawżola, kif inhu stipulat fl-Artikoli 5(1), 6(3), 9(1) u 10(3) tar-Regolament (KE) 1466/97 u l-Artikoli 3(5) u 5(2) tar-Regolament (KE) 1467/97, tiffaċilita l-koordinazzjoni tal-politiki baġitarji fi żminijiet ta' tnaqqis qawwi fir-ritmu ekonomiku. 1.0273224043715847 During the video conference with members of the European Council of 17 March 2020, the President of the Commission announced the imminent activation of the so-called general escape clause. Fil-vidjokonferenza mal-membri tal-Kunsill Ewropew tas-17 ta' Marzu 2020, il-President tal-Kummissjoni ħabbret l-attivazzjoni imminenti tal-hekk imsejħa klawżola liberatorja ġenerali. 1.0956521739130434 An assessment will be made, including on the eligible amounts, on the basis of observed data as provided by the Member States. Se ssir valutazzjoni, inkluż dwar l-ammonti eliġibbli, abbażi tad-data osservata kif ipprovduta mill-Istati Membri. 1.00625 The clause was introduced as part of the ‘Six-Pack' reform of the Stability and Growth Pact in 2011, which drew the lessons of the economic and financial crisis. Il-klawżola ġiet introdotta bħala parti mir-riforma "six-pack" tal-Patt ta' Stabbiltà u Tkabbir fl-2011, li ħadet tagħlimiet mill-kriżi ekonomika u finanzjarja. 0.9236641221374046 In its Communication of 13 March 2020 on the coordinated economic response to the COVID-19 outbreak, based on a scenario analysis, the Commission presented an economic scenario that showed that real GDP could contract by 1% in the EU in 2020. Fil-Komunikazzjoni tagħha tat-13 ta' Marzu 2020 dwar ir-rispons ekonomiku koordinat għat-tifqigħa tal-COVID-19, abbażi fuq analiżi tax-xenarji, il-Kummissjoni ppreżentat xenarju ekonomiku li juri li l-PDG fi prezzijiet kostanti jista' jonqos b'1 % fl-UE fl-2020. 0.9339853300733496 Specifically, for the preventive arm, Articles 5(1) and 9(1) of Regulation (EC) 1466/97 state that "in periods of severe economic downturn for the euro area or the Union as a whole, Member States may be allowed temporarily to depart from the adjustment path towards the medium-term budgetary objective, provided that this does not endanger fiscal sustainability in the medium term". Speċifikament, għall-parti preventiva, l-Artikoli 5(1) u 9(1) tar-Regolament (KE) 1466/97 jgħidu li "f'perjodi ta' tnaqqis serju fir-ritmu ekonomiku għaż-żona euro jew l-Unjoni kollha, l-Istati Membri jistgħu jitħallew jiddevjaw temporanjament mill-perkors ta' aġġustament lejn l-objettiv baġitarju fuq perjodu medju ta' żmien, sakemm dan ma jipperikolax is-sostenibbiltà fiskali fuq perjodu medju ta' żmien". 1.0564516129032258 The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a major economic shock that is already having a significant negative impact in the European Union. Il-pandemija tal-COVID-19 wasslet għal xokk ekonomiku kbir li diġà qed ikollu impatt negattiv sinifikanti fl-Unjoni Ewropea. 1.0163934426229508 The Communication pointed out that more adverse scenarios, linked to a deeper impact of the pandemic, could not be excluded. Il-Kummissjoni indikat li ma setgħux jiġu esklużi xenarji aktar negattivi marbutin ma' impatt aktar profond tal-pandemija. 0.9552238805970149 For the corrective arm, Articles 3(5) and 5(2) stipulate that in the case of a severe economic downturn in the euro area or in the Union as a whole, the Council may also decide, on a recommendation from the Commission, to adopt a revised fiscal trajectory. Għall-parti korrettiva, l-Artikoli 3(5) u 5(2) jistipulaw li f'każ ta' tnaqqis serju fir-ritmu ekonomiku fiż-żona tal-euro jew fl-Unjoni kollha kemm hi, il-Kunsill jista' jiddeċiedi wkoll, fuq rakkomandazzjoni mill-Kummissjoni, li jadotta trajettorja fiskali riveduta. 0.9404761904761905 Developments since then suggest that such adverse scenarios have become likely. L-iżviluppi minn dakinhar 'l hawn jindikaw li tali xenarji negattivi saru probabbli. 0.601123595505618 As part of this, the Commission proposed the Coronavirus Response Investment Initiative (CRII) on 13 March. Bħala parti minn dan, fit-13 ta' Marzu, il-Kummissjoni pproponiet l-Inizjattiva ta' Investiment fir-Rispons għall-Coronavirus (Coronavirus Response Investment Initiative, CRAII). 0.9574468085106383 The proposal will allow for flexible, fast and direct support across two broad priorities. Il-proposta se tippermetti appoġġ flessibbli, rapidu u dirett fuq żewġ prijoritajiet ġenerali. 0.9776119402985075 SURE will provide financial assistance up to €100 billion in EU loans and will be an EU-wide scheme to mitigate unemployment risks. SURE se jipprovdi għajnuna finanzjarja sa EUR 100 biljun f'self tal-UE u se jkun skema fl-UE kollha għat-taffija tar-riskji tal-qgħad. 0.8738738738738738 The Commission has set up a CRII Task Force as a one-stop shop for practical and legal questions. Il-Kummissjoni stabbiliet Task Force tas-CRII bħala punt uniku ta' servizz għal mistoqsijiet prattiċi u legali. 0.9141104294478528 üThe Commission is proposing to allow every available euro of European Structural and Investment Funds to be used on the response to the Coronavirus. üIl-Kummissjoni qiegħda tipproponi li tippermetti li kull euro disponibbli mill-Fondi Strutturali u ta' Investiment Ewropej jintuża għar-rispons għall-coronavirus. 1.2473118279569892 At the same time, the EU will continue to demonstrate responsibility, solidarity and leadership on the global stage. Fl-istess ħin, l-UE ser tkompli turi responsabbiltà, solidarjetà u tmexxija fix-xena globali. 0.9016393442622951 This is will apply to all of the Cohesion Policy Funds. Dan se japplika għall-Fondi kollha tal-Politika ta' Koeżjoni. 0.8324324324324325 However, many volunteers who deliver this help can no longer be mobilised as they often fall into the most at-risk group if they contract the coronavirus. Madankollu, ħafna voluntiera li jwasslu din l-għajnuna ma jistgħux jibqgħu jiġu mobilizzati peress li ħafna drabi dawn jaqgħu fl-aktar grupp f'riskju kieku kellhom jieħdu l-coronavirus. 0.905982905982906 The Coronavirus outbreak is testing Europe in ways that would have been unthinkable only a few months ago. Il-pandemija tal-coronavirus qiegħda tkun ta' prova għall-Ewropa b'modi li qatt ma konna nobsru sa ftit tax-xhur ilu. 0.7739130434782608 In simple terms, this is maximum flexibility: no limit on transfers between funds or between regions, no limits on spending per policy objective, no requirements on co-financing. Fi ftit kliem, aktar flessibbiltà minn hekk ma jistax ikun hemm: l-ebda limitu fuq trasferimenti bejn il-fondi jew bejn ir-reġjuni, l-ebda limitu fuq l-infiq skont l-obbjettiv ta' politika, l-ebda rekwiżiti dwar il-kofinanzjament. 0.8780487804878049 These include Partnership Agreements not needing to be amended, deadlines for annual reports postponed and limited financial flexibility being allowed at the closure of programmes. Dawn jinkludu li Ftehimiet ta' Sħubija ma jeħtiġux li jiġu emendati, li l-iskadenzi għar-rapporti annwali jiġu posposti u li titħalla li jkun hemm flessibbiltà finanzjarja limitata fl-għeluq tal-programmi. 1.0446428571428572 Such schemes were already in place in 18 Member States before the outbreak of the virus and have since been extended.

Din il-gwida ġiet elaborata b'kontribut mill-Aġenzija Ewropea għall-Gwardja tal-Fruntiera u tal-Kosta (Frontex), iċ-Ċentru Ewropew għall-Prevenzjoni u l-Kontroll tal-Mard (ECDC) u l-Europol. 0.971830985915493 The Commission therefore invites the Schengen Member States and the Schengen Associated States to prolong in a coordinated manner the application of the travel restriction on non-essential travel from third countries into the EU+ area by another 30 days, until on 15 May 2020. Il-Kummissjoni għalhekk tistieden lill-Istati Membri ta' Schengen u lill-Istati Assoċjati ta' Schengen biex jestendu b'mod kordinat l-applikazzjoni tar-restrizzjoni għall-ivvjaġġar fuq vjaġġar mhux essenzjali minn pajjiżi terzi lejn iż-żona UE+ bi 30 jum ieħor, sal-15 ta' Mejju 2020. 0.9740932642487047 On 16 March 2020, the Commission adopted a Communication to the European Parliament, the European Council and the Council on a ‘Temporary restriction on non-essential travel to the EU' 1 . Fis-16 ta' Marzu 2020, il-Kummissjoni adottat Komunikazzjoni lill-Parlament Ewropew, lill-Kunsill Ewropew u lill-Kunsill dwar "Restrizzjoni temporanja fuq vjaġġar mhux essenzjali lejn l-UE" 1 . 0.8764705882352941 The scope of the extension of the temporary travel restriction should be the same as that set out in the Commission's Communication of 16 March 2020. Jenħtieġ li l-ambitu tal-estensjoni tar-restrizzjoni temporanja fuq l-ivvjaġġar jkun l-istess bħal dak stabbilit fil-Komunikazzjoni tal-Kummissjoni tas-16 ta' Marzu 2020. 0.9463087248322147 This action at the external border complemented other important steps and measures taken by Member States to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and respond to the healthcare needs, including a variety of confinements, restrictions on social interaction, and measures at internal borders. Din l-azzjoni fil-fruntiera esterna kkumplimentat passi u miżuri importanti oħra meħuda mill-Istati Membri biex inaqqsu l-firxa ta' COVID-19 u jirrispondu għall-ħtiġijiet tal-kura tas-saħħa, inkluża varjetà ta' konfinamenti, restrizzjonijiet fuq interazzjoni soċjali u miżuri fil-fruntieri interni. 0.9690265486725663 The experience of Member States and other countries exposed to the pandemic, shows that the measures applied to fight the spread of the pandemic requires more than 30 days to be effective and produce the desire results. L-esperjenza tal-Istati Membri u pajjiżi oħra esposti għall-pandemija, turi li l-miżuri applikati biex tiġi miġġielda l-firxa tal-pandemija jeħtieġu aktar minn 30 ġurnata biex ikunu effettivi u jipproduċu r-riżultati mixtieqa. 0.8888888888888888 2.Flexibility embedded in IFRS 9 - Financial instruments 2.Il-flessibbiltà inkorporata fl-IFRS 9 - Strumenti finanzjarji 1.04 1.Introduction and context 1.Introduzzjoni u kuntest 0.8820224719101124 These issues will be considered in the review of the Consumer Credit Directive (2008/48/EC) and the Mortgage Credit Directive (2014/17/EU), foreseen in 2021.

Għaldaqstant, il-Kummissjoni qed tadotta, flimkien ma' din il-Komunikazzjoni Interpretattiva, proposta leġiżlattiva 59 biex timplimenta l-emendi għall-arranġamenti tranżitorji eżistenti għall-kontabbiltà tal-ECL u d-differiment tar-rekwiżit il-ġdid tal-bafer għall-proporzjon ta' lieva finanzjarja fuq proposta tal-BCBS kif ukoll xi bidliet limitati għal elementi speċifiċi tas-CRR biex tiġi mmassimizzata l-kapaċità tal-banek li jassorbu t-telf relatat mat-tifqigħa tal-COVID-19 u biex ikomplu jsellfu lin-negozji u lill-unitajiet domestiċi, filwaqt li jiżguraw ir-reżiljenza kontinwa tagħhom. 0.6792452830188679 The Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR) contains a transitional arrangement 37 that allows banks to add back to their Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital any increase in provisions due to IFRS 9 ECL accounting 38 .

Fil-Grigal tal-Atlantiku, il-bijomassa kompliet tiżdied mill-2007, u fl-2018 kienet 48 % ogħla milli fl-2003 7 għall-istokkijiet evalwati bis-sħiħ. 0.9436619718309859 However, the average FTE wage has been increasing by 2.5% per year. Madankollu, il-paga medja tal-FTE kienet qed tiżdied bi 2.5 % fis-sena. 1.196078431372549 This means that fishing has steadily become more sustainable. Dan ifisser li s-sajd sar dejjem aktar sostenibbli. 0.9577464788732394 The proposal will also include the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) measures already in force, including the ones adopted in 2019, such as the multiannual plan for demersal stocks in the Adriatic, as well as the Adriatic emergency measures for small pelagic species, measures for eels and TACs for turbot in the Black Sea, as well as the autonomous quota for sprat in that basin 17 . Il-proposta se tinkludi wkoll il-miżuri diġà fis-seħħ tal-Kummissjoni Ġenerali tas-Sajd għall-Mediterran (GFCM), inklużi dawk adottati fl-2019, bħall-pjan pluriennali għall-istokkijiet demersali fl-Adrijatiku, kif ukoll il-miżuri ta' emerġenza tal-Adrijatiku għall-ispeċijiet pelaġiċi żgħar, miżuri għas-sallur u t-TACs għall-barbun imperjali fil-Baħar l-Iswed, kif ukoll il-kwota awtonoma għal-laċċa kaħla f'dak il-baċir 17 . 0.7417218543046358 Remedial measures were also agreed for North Sea cod, Skagerrak and Kattegat cod in the EU-Norway consultations.

B'mod speċifiku, filwaqt li l-miżuri adottati kontra l-pandemija tal-COVID-19 jammontaw għal 1,2 % tal-PDG, huwa ppjanat li l-istabbilizzaturi ekonomiċi jkollhom kontribut ta' 5 punti perċentwali ta' PDG għad-defiċit ippjanat. 0.7794117647058824 Graph 1:Government debt-to-GDP ratio, Italy, % of GDP Graff 1:il-proporzjon tad-dejn tal-Gvern mal-PDG, l-Italja,% tal-PDG 0.875 4.2 Medium-term economic position, including structural reforms .2 Il-pożizzjoni ekonomika fi żmien medju, inklużi r-riformi strutturali 0.9230769230769231 Taking into account the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Commission 2020 spring forecast projects a contraction of real GDP in 2020 by 9.5%. Filwaqt li jitqies l-impatt tal-pandemija tal-COVID-19, it-tbassir tar-rebbiegħa 2020 tal-Kummissjoni jipprevedi tnaqqis fil-PDG reali ta' 9,5 % għall-2020. 0.8345070422535211 Data notified by the Italian authorities on 22 April 2020 and subsequently validated by Eurostat 1 show that the general government deficit in Italy reached 1.6% of GDP in 2019, while general government gross debt stood at 134.8% of GDP. Id-data notifikata mill-awtoritajiet tal-Italja fit-22 ta' April 2020 u sussegwentement ivvalidata mill-Eurostat 1 turi li d-defiċit tal-amministrazzjoni pubblika fl-Italja laħaq il-1,6 % tal-PDG fl-2019, filwaqt li d-dejn gross tal-amministrazzjoni pubblika kien ta' 134,8 % tal-PDG. 0.8113207547169812 According to the 2020 Stability Programme, Italy plans a deficit of 10.4% of GDP in 2020, while debt is planned at 155.7% of GDP. Skont il-Programm ta' Stabbiltà tal-2020, l-Italja qed tippjana defiċit ta' 10,4 % tal-PDG fl-2020, filwaqt li d-dejn huwa ppjanat li jkun ta' 155,7 % tal-PDG. 1.8641304347826086 In that respect, at least the following three main aspects need to be considered when assessing compliance with the debt criterion given their impact on the debt dynamics and sustainability: (i) adherence to the MTO or the adjustment path towards it; (ii) the implementation of structural reforms; and (iii) the prevailing economic conditions. (i) l-aderenza mal-OTM (Objettiv ta' Terminu Medju) jew mal-pjan ta' aġġustament lejh; (ii) l-implimentazzjoni ta' riformi strutturali; u (iii) il-kundizzjonijiet ekonomiċi prevalenti. 0.8765822784810127 On the other hand, Italy made limited progress in shifting taxation away from labour, reducing tax expenditure and reforming the cadastral system; tackling undeclared work; supporting women's participation in the labour market; improving educational outcomes including through adequate and targeted investment and fostering upskilling; reducing the length of civil trials by enforcing and streamlining procedural rules; and improving the effectiveness of the fight against corruption by reforming procedural rules to reduce the length of criminal trials.

Filwaqt li jitqies l-impatt tal-pandemija tal-COVID-19, it-tbassir tar-rebbiegħa 2020 tal-Kummissjoni jipprevedi tnaqqis ta' PDG reali fl-2020 ta' 8,2 %, li jwassal għal defiċit tal-amministrazzjoni pubblika ta' 9,9 % tal-PDG. 0.9607142857142857 The Commission 2020 spring forecast projects GDP to decline by 8.2% in 2020, with a negative domestic demand contribution to growth by 7.4 percentage points due to the brisk fall in private consumption and investment, and also by a negative contribution of inventories. It-tbassir tar-rebbiegħa 2020 tal-Kummissjoni jipprevedi li l-PDG jonqos bi 8,2 % fl-2020, b'kontribut negattiv tad-domanda domestika għat-tkabbir b'7,4 punt perċentwali, minħabba t-tnaqqis b'pass mgħaġġel fil-konsum privat u fl-investiment, u b'kontribut negattiv tal-inventarji. 0.8456591639871383 Data notified by the French authorities on 31 March 2020 and subsequently validated by Eurostat 1 show that the general government deficit in France reached 3.0% of GDP in 2019, while general government gross debt stood at 98.1% of GDP, the same lavel as in 2018.

Il-proporzjon tad-dejn tal-Gvern mal-PDG stabbilizza għal 98,1 % fl-2018 u fl-2019. 0.934984520123839 The headline deficit increased from 2.3% of GDP in 2018 to 3.0% in 2019, mainly due to the statistical impact of the transformation of the tax credit for competitiveness and employment (CICE) into a permanent outright reduction of employer's social contributions, which accounted for about 0.9% of GDP. Id-defiċit nominali żdied minn 2,3 % tal-PDG fl-2018 għal 3,0 % fl-2019, prinċipalment minħabba l-impatt statistiku tat-trasformazzjoni tal-kreditu tat-taxxa għall-kompetittività u l-impjiegi (CICE) fi tnaqqis definittiv permanenti tal-kontribuzzjonijiet soċjali ta' min iħaddem, li kien jammonta għal madwar 0,9 % tal-PDG. 0.8484848484848485 Limited progress was also made in fostering integration on the labour market and ensuring equal opportunities, improving the research and innovation performance and reducing red-tape restrictions.

Fl-2019, il-proporzjon tad-dejn stabbilizza għal 98,1 %, li jirrifletti l-effett ta' żieda fid-dejn tad-defiċit primarju u tan-nefqa tal-imgħax, għalkemm din tal-aħħar qed tonqos. 0.8133333333333334 Moreover, liquidity measures and public guarantees aimed to support firms, amount to about EUR 385 billion (17.1% of GDP). Barra minn hekk, il-miżuri ta' likwidità u l-garanziji pubbliċi bil-għan li jappoġġaw lid-ditti jammontaw għal madwar EUR 385 biljun (17,1 % tal-PDG). 0.8181818181818182 Economic growth reached 1.2% in 2019, mainly due to the robust performance of net exports. It-tkabbir ekonomiku laħaq 1,2 % fl-2019, l-aktar minħabba l-prestazzjoni robusta tal-esportazzjonijiet netti. 0.8434163701067615 Data notified by the Swedish authorities on 31 March 2020 and subsequently validated by Eurostat 1 show that the general government surplus in Sweden reached 0.5% of GDP in 2019, while general government gross debt stood at 35.1% of GDP.

Dawn il-fatturi li jnaqqsu d-dejn kienu parzjalment paċuti mill-impatt li jżid id-dejn tal-aġġustamenti stokk-flussi (+0,4 % tal-PDG). 0.9939024390243902 In 2019, the public debt-to-GDP ratio decreased substantially, to 95.5%, driven by a comfortable primary budget surplus as well as by a favourable snowball effect. Fl-2019 il-proporzjon tad-dejn pubbliku għall-PDG naqas b'mod sostanzjali għal 95,5 %, xprunat minn surplus primarju komdu kif ukoll minn effett "valanga" pożittiv. 2.170886075949367 In that respect, at least the following three main aspects need to be considered when assessing compliance with the debt criterion given their impact on the debt dynamics and sustainability: (i) adherence to the MTO or the adjustment path towards it, (ii) the implementation of structural reforms, and (iii) the prevailing economic conditions. (i) l-aderenza mal-OTM jew mal-perkors ta' aġġustament lejh, (ii) l-implimentazzjoni tar-riformi strutturali, u (iii) il-kundizzjonijiet ekonomiċi prevalenti. 0.9452054794520548 After declining considerably from 103.4% in 2016 to 93.9% of GDP in 2017, the public debt-to-GDP ratio increased to 100.6% of GDP in 2018. Wara li naqas sostanzjalment minn 103,4 % fl-2016 għal 93,9 % tal-PDG fl-2017, il-proporzjon tad-dejn pubbliku żdied għal 100,6 % tal-PDG fl-2018. 0.920814479638009 More specifically, Cyprus has made some progress notably in improving the governance of State-owned enterprises; facilitating the reduction of non-performing loans; strengthening the effectiveness of the public employment services and outreach to young people; improving R&D ; easing the access to finance for the SMEs, and implementing the first phase of the reform of the National Health Insurance System.

Id-data nnotifikata mill-awtoritajiet Latvjani fil-31 ta' Marzu 2020 u sussegwentement ivvalidata mill-Eurostat 1 turi li d-defiċit tal-amministrazzjoni pubblika fil-Latvja laħaq 0,2 % tal-PDG fl-2019, filwaqt li d-dejn gross tal-amministrazzjoni pubblika kien ta' 36,9 % tal-PDG. 1.1111111111111112 The differences in the macroeconomic and fiscal projections demonstrate the high uncertainty surrounding them. Id-differenzi fil-projezzjonijiet makroekonomiċi u fiskali juru l-inċertezza kbira marbuta magħhom. 1.0661764705882353 On 15 May 2020, the Latvian authorities transmitted a letter with relevant factors in accordance with Article 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1467/97.

Skont il-Programm ta' Stabbiltà tal-2020, il-Latvja tippjana defiċit ta' 9,4 % tal-PDG fl-2020, filwaqt li d-dejn huwa ppjanat għal 51,7 % tal-PDG. 1.0 Taking into account the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Commission 2020 spring forecast projects a contraction of real GDP in 2020 by 7.0%. Jekk jitqies l-impatt tal-pandemija tal-COVID-19, it-tbassir tar-rebbiegħa 2020 tal-Kummissjoni jipprevedi tnaqqis tal-PDG reali fl-2020 b'7,0%. 0.9440993788819876 Macroeconomic projections are highly uncertain, as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will depend on the duration and severity of restrictive measures. Il-projezzjonijiet makroekonomiċi huma inċerti ħafna, peress li l-impatt tal-pandemija tal-COVID-19 se jiddependi fuq it-tul u s-severità tal-miżuri restrittivi. 0.7981651376146789 The Stability Programme projects the government deficit to deteriorate to 9.4% in 2020. Skont il-Programm ta' Stabbiltà, id-defiċit tal-amministrazzjoni pubblika se jiddeterjora għal 9,4 % fl-2020. 0.9404145077720207 In 2019, based on the outturn data and the Commission 2020 spring forecast, Latvia's structural deficit of 1.7% of GDP is assessed to be close to the medium-term budgetary objective of -1.0% of GDP, taking into account the allowance linked to the healthcare reform of 0.5% of GDP, which points to compliance with the requirements of the Stability and Growth Pact. Fl-2019, fuq il-bażi tad-data dwar ir-riżultati u t-tbassir tar-rebbiegħa 2020 tal-Kummissjoni u meta titqies il-konċessjoni ta' 0,5% tal-PDG marbuta mar-riforma tal-kura tas-saħħa, id-defiċit strutturali tal-Latvja ta' 1,7 % tal-PDG huwa vvalutat li huwa qrib l-objettiv baġitarju fi żmien medju ta' -1,0 % tal-PDG, li jindika konformità mar-rekwiżiti tal-Patt ta' Stabbiltà u Tkabbir. 0.9791666666666666 Hence, the analysis suggests that prima facie the deficit criterion as defined by the Treaty and Regulation (EC) No 1467/97 is not fulfilled.

B'mod ġenerali, peress li d-defiċit ippjanat huwa ferm 'il fuq minn 3 % tal-PDG u l-eċċess mhux temporanju, u filwaqt li jitqiesu l-fatturi rilevanti kollha, l-analiżi tissuġġerixxi li l-kriterju tad-defiċit kif definit fit-Trattat u fir-Regolament (KE) Nru 1467/1997 mhuwiex issodisfat. 0.8353658536585366 According to the Commission 2020 spring forecast, general government debt is expected to rise from 48.0% of GDP in 2019 to 59.5% in 2020.

Kif speċifikat fl-Artikolu 4 tar-Regolament (KE) Nru 1467/97, fir-rigward tal-kriterju tad-defiċit, billi l-proporzjon tad-dejn tal-amministrazzjoni pubblika mal-PDG jaqbeż il-valur referenzjarju ta' 60 % u li l-kundizzjoni doppja mhijiex irrispettata - jiġifieri li d-defiċit jibqa' qrib il-valur referenzjarju u li l-eċċess tiegħu fuq il-valur referenzjarju jkun temporanju - dawn il-fatturi rilevanti ma jistgħux jitqiesu fil-passi li jwasslu għad-deċiżjoni dwar l-eżistenza ta' defiċit eċċessiv fuq il-bażi tal-kriterju tad-defiċit għar-Renju Unit. 0.9272727272727272 According to the Commission forecast, the United Kingdom's deficit is expected to be 10.7% of GDP in 2020-21, while debt is expected to be 102.5% of GDP.

Meta jitqiesu dawk il-fatturi, il-Kummissjoni tikkunsidra l-previżjoni attwali tagħha ta' defiċit ta' 10,7 % tal-PDG fl-2020-21 bħala evidenza konvinċenti biżżejjed prima facie ta' defiċit eċċessiv kif definit fl-Artikolu 126(2)(a) tat-Trattat. 0.9664429530201343 Taking into account the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Commission 2020 spring forecast projects a contraction of real GDP in 2020 by 8.3%.

Bl-applikazzjoni tar-rekwiżit ta' riżerva għall-proporzjon ta' ingranaġġ pospost, matul il-perjodu ta' posponiment ma jkun hemm l-ebda konsegwenza għan-nuqqas li jiġi ssodisfat dak ir-rekwiżit kif stabbilit fl-Artikolu 141c tad-Direttiva 2013/36/UE u l-ebda restrizzjoni relatata fuq id-distribuzzjonijiet stabbiliti fl-Artikolu 141b ta' din id-Direttiva. 0.8547945205479452 In line with international standards adopted by the BCBS, Regulation (EU) 2017/2395 introduced in Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 transitional arrangements to mitigate the potentially significant negative impact on institutions' Common Equity Tier 1 capital arising from expected credit loss accounting under IFRS 9. F'konformità mal-istandards internazzjonali adottati mill-BCBS, ir-Regolament (UE) 2017/2395 introduċa fir-Regolament (UE) Nru 575/2013 arranġamenti tranżitorji biex jiġi mmitigat l-impatt negattiv potenzjalment sinifikanti fuq il-kapital ta' Ekwità Komuni ta' Grad 1 tal-istituzzjonijiet li jirriżulta mill-kontabilità tat-telf ta' kreditu mistenni skont l-IFRS 9. 0.91005291005291 (13)In March 2020, the Group of Central Bank Governors and Heads of Supervision (GHOS) has revised the implementation timeline of the final elements of the Basel framework. (13)F'Marzu 2020, il-Grupp tal-Gvernaturi tal-Banek Ċentrali u l-Kapijiet tas-Superviżjoni (GHOS) irreveda l-iskeda ta' żmien għall-implimentazzjoni tal-elementi finali tal-qafas ta' Basel. 0.8410757946210269 They are also fully consistent with the Union's accounting rules, in particular with Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/2067 of 22 November 2016 amending Regulation (EC) No 1126/2008 adopting certain international accounting standards in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards IFRS 9.

Permezz ta' deroga mill-Artikolu 47c(3), sa [data tad-dħul fis-seħħ ta' dan ir-Regolament emendatorju + 7 snin], il-fatturi stabbiliti fl-Artikolu 47c(4) għandhom japplikaw ukoll għall-parti tal-iskopertura improduttiva garantita minn fornitur eliġibbli msemmi fil-punti minn (a) sa (e) tal-Artikolu 201(1), fejn, soġġett għall-konformità mar-regoli tal-Unjoni dwar l-għajnuna mill-Istat, fejn applikabbli, il-garanzija jew il-kontrogaranzija hija pprovduta bħala parti mill-miżuri ta' appoġġ biex jiġu assistiti l-mutwatarji fost il-pandemija tal-COVID-19. 0.9261083743842364 The discretion, which is intended to facilitate the effective transmission of monetary policy measures, will become applicable together with the leverage ratio requirement on 28 June 2021. Id-diskrezzjoni, li hija maħsuba biex tiffaċilita t-trasmissjoni effettiva tal-miżuri ta' politika monetarja, se tkun applikabbli flimkien mar-rekwiżit ta' proporzjon ta' ingranaġġ fit-28 ta' Ġunju 2021. 0.8787878787878788 The flexibility embedded in the CRR is described in the Commission Interpretative Communication of 28 April 2020 6 on the application of the accounting and prudential frameworks to facilitate bank lending in the Union amid COVID-19. Il-flessibbiltà inkorporata fis-CRR hija deskritta fil-Komunikazzjoni Interpretattiva tal-Kummissjoni tas-27 ta' April 2020 6 dwar l-applikazzjoni tal-oqfsa prudenzjali u tal-kontabilità sabiex jiġi ffaċilitat is-self mill-banek fl-Unjoni fil-kuntest tal-COVID-19. 0.91875 Non-performing loans guaranteed by such agencies receive a preferential treatment regarding provisioning requirements under Article 47c of the CRR.

Sakemm jiġu applikati d-dispożizzjonijiet emendati dwar il-kalkolu tal-proporzjon ta' ingranaġġ kif introdott mir-Regolament (UE) 2019/876, jenħtieġ li l-Artikolu 429a ikompli japplika kif introdott mir-Regolament Delegat tal-Kummissjoni (UE) Nru 2015/62 18 . 0.8204225352112676 Article 473a of the CRR contains transitional arrangements allowing institutions to add back to their Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital a portion of any increase in provisions due to the introduction of ECL accounting under IFRS 9. L-Artikolu 473a tas-CRR fih arranġamenti tranżitorji li jippermettu li l-istituzzjonijiet jerġgħu jżidu mal-kapital tal-Grad 1 ta' ekwità komuni (CET1, Common Equity Tier 1) porzjon ta' kwalunkwe żieda fil-provvedimenti minħabba l-introduzzjoni ta' kontabilità tal-ECL skont l-IFRS 9. 0.9192546583850931 The BCBS agreed on 3 April 2020 to allow more flexibility in the implementation of the transitional arrangements that phase in the impact of IFRS 9. Fit-3 ta' April 2020, il-BCBS qabel li jippermetti aktar flessibbiltà fl-implimentazzjoni tal-arranġamenti tranżitorji li jintroduċu bil-mod l-impatt tal-IFRS 9. 1.018111254851229 "(c) institutions shall replace the amount calculated in accordance with point (b) of paragraph 3 of this Article by the sum of the 12-month expected credit losses determined in accordance with paragraph 5.5.5 of the Annex relating to IFRS 9 and the amount of the loss allowance for lifetime expected credit losses determined in accordance with paragraph 5.5.3 of the Annex relating to IFRS 9 excluding the loss allowance for lifetime expected credit losses for financial assets that are credit-impaired, as defined in Appendix A to the Annex relating to IFRS 9, as of 1 January 2020 or on the date of initial application of IFRS 9, whichever is later, reduced by the sum of related expected loss amounts for the same exposures calculated in accordance with Article 158(5), (6) and (10). "(c) l-istituzzjonijiet għandhom jissostitwixxu l-ammont ikkalkulat f'konformità mal-punt (b) tal-paragrafu 3 ta' dan l-Artikolu bis-somma tat-telf ta' kreditu mistenni fi 12-il xahar iddeterminata f'konformità mal-paragrafu 5.5.5 tal-Anness dwar l-IFRS 9 u l-ammont tal-kopertura għal telf ta' kreditu mistenni tul il-ħajja ddeterminat f'konformità mal-paragrafu 5.5.3 tal-Anness dwar l-IFRS 9, għajr il-kopertura għal telf ta' kreditu mistenni tul il-ħajja għal assi finanzjarji b'indeboliment fil-kreditu, kif definit fl-Appendiċi A għall-Anness dwar l-IFRS 9 mill-1 ta' Jannar 2020 jew fid-data tal-ewwel applikazzjoni tal-IFRS 9, imnaqqas bis-somma tal-ammonti relatati ta' telf mistenni għall-istess skoperturi kkalkulati f'konformità mal-Artikolu 158(5), (6) u (10). 1.0276243093922652 (16)The prudential treatment of certain software assets has been amended by Regulation (EU) 2019/876 in order to further support the transition towards a more digitalised banking sector. (16)It-trattament prudenzjali ta' ċerti assi tas-softwer ġie emendat bir-Regolament (UE) 2019/876 biex tkompli tiġi appoġġata t-tranżizzjoni lejn settur bankarju aktar diġitalizzat. 0.9631578947368421 (8)Evidence emerged in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic has made apparent that the possibility to temporarily exclude certain central bank exposures from the calculation of an institution's total exposure measure, as laid down in Article 429a of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 as amended by Regulation (EU) 2019/876, could prove essential during a crisis situation. (8)Evidenza li ħarġet fil-kuntest tal-pandemija tal-COVID-19 għamlitha ċara li l-possibbiltà li ċerti skoperturi tal-banek ċentrali jiġu esklużi temporanjament mill-kalkolu tal-miżura ta' skopertura totali ta' istituzzjoni, kif stabbilit fl-Artikolu 429a tar-Regolament (UE) Nru 575/2013 kif emendat bir-Regolament (UE) 2019/876, tista' tkun essenzjali waqt sitwazzjoni ta' kriżi. 0.930379746835443 The transition period for the static component in Article 473a(6) of the CRR is adapted in light of the new formula in paragraph 1 of that Article. Il-perjodu ta' tranżizzjoni għall-komponent statiku fl-Artikolu 473a(6) tas-CRR huwa aġġustat fid-dawl tal-formula l-ġdida fil-paragrafu 1 ta' dak l-Artikolu. 0.851985559566787 The CRR II introduced provisions to change the regulatory treatment of "prudently valued software assets", which are not materially affected in a gone concern situation (i.e. the resolution, insolvency or liquidation of an institution). Is-CRR II introduċa dispożizzjonijiet biex jinbidel it-trattament regolatorju ta' "assi tas-softwer vvalutati b'mod prudenti", li ma humiex affettwati materjalment f'sitwazzjoni ta' negozju magħluq (jiġifieri r-riżoluzzjoni, l-insolvenza jew il-likwidazzjoni ta' istituzzjoni). 1.0 f1 = the applicable factor laid down in paragraph 6; f1 = il-fattur applikabbli stipulat fil-paragrafu 6; 0.7615384615384615 Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 1 of the European Parliament and of the Council (the Capital Requirements Regulation or CRR) establishes together with Directive 2013/36/EU 2 (the Capital Requirements Directive or CRD) the prudential regulatory framework for credit institutions operating in the Union. Ir-Regolament (UE) Nru 575/2013 1 tal-Parlament Ewropew u tal-Kunsill (ir-Regolament dwar ir-Rekwiżiti ta' Kapital jew is-CRR - Capital Requirements Regulation) jistabbilixxi, flimkien mad-Direttiva 2013/36/UE 2 (id-Direttiva dwar ir-Rekwiżiti ta' Kapital jew is-CRD - Capital Requirements Directive) il-qafas regolatorju prudenzjali għall-istituzzjonijiet ta' kreditu li joperaw fl-Unjoni. 0.9096045197740112 The CRR II made changes to Article 501 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 concerning the adjustment of own funds requirements for non-defaulted SME exposures (the SME supporting factor), and introduced in Article 501a of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 a new adjustment to own funds requirements for exposures to entities that operate or finance physical structures or facilities, systems and networks that provide or support essential public services (the infrastructure supporting factor). Is-CRR II għamel bidliet fl-Artikolu 501 tar-Regolament (UE) Nru 575/2013 dwar l-aġġustament tar-rekwiżiti ta' fondi proprji għal skoperturi mhux inadempjenti tal-SMEs (il-fattur ta' sostenn għall-SMEs), u introduċa fl-Artikolu 501a tar-Regolament (UE) Nru 575/2013 aġġustament ġdid għar-rekwiżiti tal-fondi proprji għal skoperturi għal entitajiet li joperaw jew jiffinanzjaw strutturi jew faċilitajiet fiżiċi, sistemi u netwerks li jipprovdu jew jappoġġaw servizzi pubbliċi essenzjali (il-fattur ta' sostenn għall-infrastruttura). 0.9624060150375939 In reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic, BCBS has also provided some flexibility in the application of international standards 17 . B'reazzjoni għall-pandemija tal-COVID-19, il-BCBS ipprovda wkoll xi flessibbiltà fl-applikazzjoni tal-istandards internazzjonali 17 . 0.9850746268656716 Nevertheless, uncertainty related to the pace of recovery of economic activity will inevitably have an impact on the banking sector.

Fil-każ ta' xi "xiri predatorju" ta' assi strateġiċi minn investituri barranin (eż. bil-ħsieb li tiġi limitata l-provvista lis-suq tal-UE ta' xi prodott/servizz), l-aktar eċċezzjoni rilevanti hija dwar "interess pubbliku jew is-sigurtà pubblika" stipulata fl-Artikolu 65 0.9553903345724907 Finally, it needs to be noted that in the analysis of justification and proportionality, restrictions on the movement of capital to and from third countries take place in a different legal context compared to restrictions to intra-EU capital movements (9) . Fl-aħħar nett, ta' min jinnota li fl-analiżi tal-ġustifikazzjoni u l-proporzjonalità, ir-restrizzjonijiet fuq il-moviment tal-kapital lejn u minn pajjiżi terzi jseħħu f'kuntest ġuridiku differenti, imqabbel ma' restrizzjonijiet fuq movimenti kapitali fi ħdan l-UE (9) . 0.72 Impact of COVID-19 1.1 L-impatt tal-COVID-19 0.9696969696969697 Recommended operational measures Miżuri operazzjonali rakkomandati 0.8 Continued and uninterrupted air cargo services are of essential strategic importance for the EU.

F'konformità mat-Taqsima 5.2 tal-Komunikazzjoni, il-valutazzjoni tal-Kummissjoni hija bbażata fuq il-kriterji stipulati fil-punt 33 tal-Komunikazzjoni: kapaċità privata għall-assigurazzjoni tal-kreditu, klassifikazzjoni sovrana u prestazzjoni tas-settur korporattiv. 0.986046511627907 According to the most recent macroeconomic indicators, the global and Union economy are experiencing a downturn due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus and this trend is expected to continue in the near future. Skont l-aktar indikaturi makroekonomiċi reċenti, l-ekonomija globali u tal-Unjoni qed jesperjenzaw tnaqqis fir-ritmu ekonomiku minħabba t-tifqigħa tal-virus COVID-19 u din ix-xejra mistennija tkompli fil-futur qrib. 0.9547038327526133 The following amendment to the Communication from the Commission to the Member States on the application of Articles 107 and 108 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union to short-term export-credit insurance will apply from 27 March 2020 until the end of 2020: L-emenda li ġejja tal-Komunikazzjoni tal-Kummissjoni lill-Istati Membri dwar l-applikazzjoni tal-Artikoli 107 u 108 tat-Trattat dwar il-Funzjonament tal-Unjoni Ewropea għall-assigurazzjoni għall-esportazzjoni bi kreditu għal żmien qasir se tapplika mis-27 ta' Marzu 2020 sa tmiem l-2020: 0.8508474576271187 In the field of short-term export-credit insurance, the Framework introduced further flexibility in confirming the temporary non-marketability of certain risks due to a shortage of export-credit insurance pursuant to point 18 (d) of the Communication. Fil-qasam tal-assigurazzjoni għall-esportazzjoni bi kreditu għal żmien qasir, il-Qafas introduċa aktar flessibilità fil-konferma tan-nuqqas ta' kummerċjabbiltà temporanja ta' ċerti riskji minħabba nuqqas ta' assigurazzjoni ta' kreditu għall-esportazzjoni skont il-punt 18 (d) tal-Komunikazzjoni. 0.8268292682926829 The Communication from the Commission to the Member States on the application of Articles 107 and 108 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union to short-term export-credit insurance (1) ("the Communication") provides, in point 13, that State insurers (2) cannot provide short-term export-credit insurance for marketable risks. Il-Komunikazzjoni tal-Kummissjoni lill-Istati Membri dwar l-applikazzjoni tal-Artikolu 107 u 108 tat-Trattat dwar il-Funzjonament tal-Unjoni Ewropea għall-assigurazzjoni għall-esportazzjoni bi kreditu għal żmien qasir (1) ("il-Komunikazzjoni") tistipula fil-punt 13, li l-assiguraturi tal-Istat (2) ma jistgħux jipprovdu assigurazzjoni għall-esportazzjoni bi kreditu għal żmien qasir għal riskji kummerċjabbli. 0.8916666666666667 The Commission received 64 replies from Member States, private insurers, exporters, and trade associations. Il-Kummissjoni rċeviet 64 tweġiba mingħand l-Istati Membri, l-assiguraturi privati, l-esportaturi u l-korpi kummerċjali. 1.0263157894736843 In accordance with point 36 of the Communication, the Commission will assess whether to prolong the temporary exception three months before the end of 2020. F'konformità mal-punt 36 tal-Komunikazzjoni, il-Kummissjoni se tivvaluta jekk għandhiex tittawwal l-eċċezzjoni temporanja tliet xhur qabel tmiem l-2020. 0.8003952569169961 When determining whether the lack of sufficient private capacity to cover all commercial and political export risks justifies the removal of a country from the list of marketable risk countries, the Commission consulted and sought information from Member States, private credit insurers, and other interested parties, such as exporters, their associations, credit insurance brokers and trade associations. Meta kienet qed tiddetermina jekk in-nuqqas ta' kapaċità privata suffiċjenti biex tkopri r-riskji għall-esportazzjoni kummerċjali u politiċi kollha jiġġustifikawx it-tneħħija ta' pajjiż mil-lista ta' pajjiżi ta' riskju kummerċjabbli, il-Kummissjoni kkonsultat lill-Istati Membri, lill-assiguraturi tal-kreditu privati u lil partijiet interessati oħrajn, bħall-esportaturi, l-assoċjazzjonijiet tagħhom, is-sensara tal-assigurazzjoni ta' kreditu u l-assoċjazzjonijiet kummerċjali u talbithom l-informazzjoni. 1.1176470588235294 (3) Security issues a) Punti ġenerali 0.8563218390804598 For persons "…particularly exposed to risk of infection…" the classification of "high risk contacts" in the ECDC technical report should be followed; Għal persuni "... partikolarment esposti għar-riskju ta' infezzjoni ..." jenħtieġ li tiġi segwita l-klassifikazzjoni ta' kuntatti b'riskju għoli fir-rapport tekniku tal-ECDC; 0.9815950920245399 The interpretation of "the relevant symptoms" is very important as for COVID-19 a range of mild respiratory symptoms can be present at the start of the illness.

Id-domanda għall-viżi x'aktarx se tibqa' b'mod sinifikanti anqas mil-livelli tas-soltu sal-aħħar tas-sena, anke f'pajjiżi terzi fejn il-volumi huma tradizzjonalment għoljin (6) . 0.9363057324840764 This will help avoid a repetition of the administrative bottlenecks for many essential travellers, which have been experienced during recent weeks. Dan se jgħin biex tiġi evitata repetizzjoni tal-konġestjoni amministrattiva għal ħafna vjaġġaturi essenzjali, li ġew esperjenzati matul dawn l-aħħar ġimgħat. 1.0 Notification by: Belgium Notifika minn: il-Belġju 0.9400921658986175 In conformity with the relevant provisions of Regulation (EU) 2020/698, Belgium informed the Commission on 11 June 2020 that it has decided not to apply certain provisions of the Regulation (EU) 2020/698. B'konformità mad-dispożizzjonijiet rilevanti tar-Regolament (UE) 2020/698, il-Belġju informa lill-Kummissjoni nhar il-11 ta' Ġunju 2020 li ddeċieda li ma japplikax ċerti dispożizzjonijiet tar-Regolament (UE) 2020/698. 0.9318181818181818 Information from the Commission concerning the non-application of certain provisions of Regulation (EU) 2020/698 by Belgium Informazzjoni mill-Kummissjoni dwar in-nuqqas ta' applikazzjoni ta' ċerti dispożizzjonijiet tar-Regolament (UE) 2020/698 mill-Belġju 1.1020408163265305 The following points 22 c)bis, 25 h)bis, 27 g)bis, 35 h)bis, 37 k)bis, 39 i)bis and 49 d)bis are introduced: Jiddaħħlu l-punti 22 c)bis, 25 h)bis, 27 g)bis, 35 h)bis, 37 k)bis, 39 i)bis u 49 d)bis li ġejjin: 1.2758620689655173 AMENDMENTS TO THE TEMPORARY FRAMEWORK EMENDI GĦALL-QAFAS TEMPORANJU 0.7934782608695652 This is an important principle to avoid undue distortions of competition. Dan huwa prinċipju importanti biex jiġu evitati distorsjonijiet bla bżonn tal-kompetizzjoni. 1.0194174757281553 (*3) Base rates calculated in accordance with the Communication from the Commission on the revision of the method for setting the reference and discount rates ( OJ C 14, 19.1.2008, p. 6 ) and published on the website of DG Competition at https://ec.europa.eu/competition/state_aid/legislation/reference_rates.html'" (*3) Ir-rati bażi kkalkulati skont il-Komunikazzjoni tal-Kummissjoni dwar ir-reviżjoni tal-metodu li jistabbilixxi r-rati ta' referenza u ta' skont ( ĠU C 14, 19.1.2008, p. 6 ) u ppubblikati fuq is-sit web tad-DĠ Kompetizzjoni fuq https://ec.europa.eu/competition/state_aid/legislation/reference_rates.html."" 0.9778761061946902 Finally, the application of the Temporary Framework has also shown the need to introduce additional clarifications and amendments to other points of the framework, especially in section 3.3, section 3.10 and section 3.11. Fl-aħħar nett, l-applikazzjoni tal-Qafas Temporanju wriet ukoll il-ħtieġa li jiġu introdotti kjarifiki addizzjonali u emendi għal punti oħrajn ta' dan il-qafas, speċjalment fit-Taqsima 3.3, fit-Taqsima 3.10 u fit-Taqsima 3.11. 0.9357429718875502 As long as at least 75 % of the COVID-19 recapitalisation measures has not been redeemed, the remuneration of each member of the beneficiaries' management must not go beyond the fixed part of his/her remuneration on 31 December 2019. Sakemm mill-inqas 75 % tal-miżuri ta' rikapitalizzazzjoni tal-COVID-19 ma jkunux ġew mifdija, ir-remunerazzjoni ta' kull membru tal-maniġment tal-benefiċjarji ma tistax taqbeż il-parti fissa tar-remunerazzjoni tiegħu/tagħha fil-31 ta' Diċembru 2019. 0.9651162790697675 Micro and small companies (i.e. undertakings with less than 50 employees and less than EUR 10 million of annual turnover and/or annual balance sheet) contribute heavily to jobs and growth in the Union in aggregate terms: they generate more than 37 % of value added and almost 50 % of employment in the non-financial business sector. Il-kumpaniji mikro u żgħar (jiġifieri l-impriżi b'inqas minn 50 impjegat u inqas minn EUR 10 miljun f'fatturat annwali u/jew karta tal-bilanċ annwali) jikkontribwixxu bil-kbir għall-impjiegi u t-tkabbir fl-Unjoni f'termini aggregati: jiġġeneraw aktar minn 37 % tal-valur miżjud u kważi 50 % tal-impjiegi fis-settur tan-negozju mhux finanzjarju. 0.8639455782312925 In this context, the Commission recalls that the TFEU is neutral as regards public versus private ownership (Article 345 TFEU). F'dan il-kuntest, il-Kummissjoni tfakkar li t-TFUE huwa newtrali rigward is-sjieda pubblika fil-konfront ta' dik privata (l-Artikolu 345 tat-TFUE). 0.9470198675496688 The loans may be granted at reduced interest rates which are at least equal to the base rate (1 year IBOR or equivalent as published by the Commission (*3) ) available either on 1 January 2020 or at the moment of notification, plus the credit risk margins as set-out in the table below: Is-self jista' jiġi konċess b'rati tal-imgħax imnaqqsa li jkunu tal-anqas ugwali għar-rata bażi (IBOR ta' sena (1) jew ekwivalenti, kif ippubblikat mill-Kummissjoni (*3) ) disponibbli fl-1 ta' Jannar 2020 jew fil-mument tan-notifika, flimkien mal-marġni ta' kreditu kif stabbilit fit-tabella hawn taħt: 1.0491803278688525 Letters a., c. and d. of point 43 are replaced by the following: L-ittri a., c. u d. tal-punt 43 jiġu sostitwiti b'dan li ġej: 0.8311688311688312 On 19 March 2020, the Commission adopted its Communication ‘Temporary Framework for State aid measures to support the economy in the current COVID-19 outbreak' (1) (the ‘Temporary Framework'). Fid-19 ta' Marzu 2020, il-Kummissjoni adottat il-Komunikazzjoni tagħha "Qafas Temporanju għal miżuri ta' għajnuna mill-Istat biex jingħata sostenn lill-ekonomija matul it-tifqigħa preżenti tal-COVID-19" (1) ("il-Qafas Temporanju"). 0.8843537414965986 By contrast, other kind of aid addressing more generally the economic downturn from the COVID-19 outbreak is to be assessed under the different compatibility basis of Article 107(3)(b) TFEU, and therefore in principle on the basis of this Temporary Framework.' B'kuntrast ma' dan, tip ta' għajnuna oħra li tindirizza b'mod aktar ġenerali t-tnaqqis fir-ritmu ekonomiku mit-tifqigħa tal-COVID-19 trid tiġi vvalutata skont il-bażi ta' kompatibbiltà differenti tal-Artikolu 107(3)(b) tat-TFUE, u għaldaqstant fil-prinċipju abbażi ta' dan il-Qafas Temporanju." 1.0092165898617511 For persons becoming members of the management on or after the recapitalisation, the applicable limit is the fixed remuneration of the members of the management with the same level of responsibility on 31 December 2019. Għall-persuni li jsiru membri tal-maniġment mar-rikapitalizzazzjoni jew warajha, il-limitu applikabbli huwa r-remunerazzjoni fissa tal-membri tal-maniġment bl-istess livell ta' responsabbiltà fil-31 ta' Diċembru 2019. 0.8815165876777251 Article 54(2) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1) (‘MiFIR') provides for a transitional period during which Articles 35 or 36 of MiFIR do not apply to those central clearing counterparties (‘CCPs') or trading venues which made a request to benefit from this transitional arrangement with respect to exchange-traded derivatives. L-Artikolu 54(2) tar-Regolament (UE) Nru 600/2014 tal-Parlament Ewropew u tal-Kunsill (1) ("MiFIR") jipprevedi perjodu tranżitorju li matulu l-Artikoli 35 jew 36 tal-MiFIR ma japplikawx għal dawk il-kontropartijiet ċentrali tal-ikklerjar (central clearing counterparties, "CCPs") jew ċentri tan-negozjar li għamlu talba biex jibbenefikaw minn dan l-arranġament tranżitorju fir-rigward tad-derivattivi nnegozjati fil-borża. 1.0059171597633136 The current market environment, with a high degree of uncertainty and volatility driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, increases operational risks for CCPs and trading venues. L-ambjent attwali tas-suq, bi grad għoli ta' inċertezza u volatilità xprunat mill-pandemija tal-COVID-19, iżid ir-riskji operazzjonali għas-CCPs u ċ-ċentri tan-negozjar. 0.9452054794520548 In consequence, market participants should be aware that the co-legislators agreed to extend the transitional arrangements in Article 54(2) concerning Articles 35 or 36 of MiFIR, effective as of 4 July 2020. B'konsegwenza ta' dan, il-parteċipanti fis-suq għandhom ikunu konxji li l-koleġiżlaturi qablu li jestendu l-arranġamenti tranżitorji fl-Artikolu 54(2) dwar l-Artikoli 35 jew 36 tal-MiFIR, b'effett mill-4 ta' Lulju 2020. 0.9038461538461539 The transitional period expires on 3 July 2020. Il-perjodu tranżitorju jiskadi fit-3 ta' Lulju 2020. 1.0114942528735633 The co-legislators therefore agreed to extend the transitional period until 3 July 2021. Il-koleġiżlaturi għalhekk qablu li jestendu l-perjodu tranżitorju sat-3 ta' Lulju 2021. 0.8385416666666666 Communication on the application of Articles 107 and 108 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union to short-term export-credit insurance (6) (STEC).

Gwida jenħtieġ li jiġu adattati kif stabbilit fil-punti (9) sa (15). 0.9322033898305084 On 7 January 2019, the Commission launched the evaluation of the those rules in the form of a ‘fitness check'. Fis-7 ta' Jannar 2019, il-Kummissjoni nediet l-evalwazzjoni ta' dawn ir-regoli, fil-forma ta' "kontroll tal-idoneità". 0.9298780487804879 In that case, the undertaking may lose eligibility under Section 3.7.2 (targeted reductions in the funding of support for energy from renewable sources for competitiveness reasons) when applying Annex 4 for calculating the GVA (Gross Value Added) and the electro-intensity at the level of the undertaking. F'dak il-każ, l-impriża tista' titlef l-eliġibbiltà taħt it-Taqsima 3.7.2 (tnaqqis immirat fil-finanzjament ta' appoġġ għall-enerġija minn sorsi rinnovabbli għal raġunijiet ta' kompetittività) meta jiġi applikat l-Anness 4 għall-kalkolu tal-GVA (il-Valur Miżjud Gross) u l-intensità tal-użu tal-elettriku fil-livell tal-impriża. 0.9276018099547512 In particular, in the framework of the Guidelines on regional State aid for 2014-2020, the Guidelines on State aid for environmental protection and energy 2014-2020, the Communication - Criteria for the analysis of the compatibility with the internal market of State aid to promote the execution of important projects of common European interest (IPCEI) and the Framework for State aid for research and development and innovation, undertakings which were not in difficulty on 31 December 2019 but became undertakings in difficulty after 31 December 2019 should be eligible under those guidelines until 30 June 2021.

Fir-rigward tal-Linji Gwida dwar l-għajnuna mill-Istat għall-protezzjoni ambjentali u l-enerġija 2014-2020, it-tnaqqis drastiku fil-prezzijiet tal-elettriku minħabba l-pandemija tal-COVID-19 jista' jwassal għal sitwazzjonijiet fejn l-intensità tal-użu tal-elettriku tal-impriżi tista' tonqos. 0.7560975609756098 COUNCIL CONCLUSIONS ON COVID-19 KONKLUŻJONIJIET TAL-KUNSILL DWAR COVID-19 0.8994197292069632 RECALLS that the EU and its Member States coordinate and cooperate closely in the field of health security, by implementing planning and response measures and preparedness planning, as well as by addressing activities concerning business continuity planning, in accordance with Decision No 1082/2013/EU on serious cross-border threats to health (3) , and Decision No 1313/2013/EU on a Union Civil Protection Mechanism (UCPM) in the field of health emergencies (4) ; IFAKKAR li l-UE u l-Istati Membri tagħha jikkoordinaw u jikkooperaw mill-qrib fil-qasam tas-sigurtà tas-saħħa, billi jimplimentaw miżuri ta' ippjanar u ta' rispons u ppjanar tal-istat ta' tħejjija, kif ukoll billi jindirizzaw attivitajiet li jikkonċernaw l-ippjanar tal-kontinwità tal-operat, f'konformità mad-Deċiżjoni Nru 1082/2013/UE dwar theddid transkonfinali serju għas-saħħa (3) , u d-Deċiżjoni Nru 1313/2013/UE dwar Mekkaniżmu tal-Unjoni għall-Protezzjoni Ċivili (UCPM) fil-qasam tal-emerġenzi tas-saħħa (4) ; 0.8694267515923567 WELCOMES the swift activation of the EU Integrated Political Crisis Response (IPCR) arrangements (6) in information-sharing mode, and of the Union Civil Protection Mechanism (7) , as well as the reinforcements of consular assistance in response to the outbreak of COVID-19; JILQA' l-attivazzjoni rapida tal-Arranġamenti Integrati tal-UE għal Rispons Politiku f'Sitwazzjonijiet ta' Kriżi (IPCR) (6) fil-modalità ta' kondiviżjoni tal-informazzjoni, u tal-Mekkaniżmu tal-Unjoni għall-Protezzjoni Ċivili (7) , kif ukoll it-tisħiħ tal-assistenza konsulari b'rispons għat-tifqigħa ta' COVID-19; 0.9348837209302325 WELCOMES the Resolution on Strengthening Preparedness for Health Emergencies; Implementation of International Health Regulations (IHR, 2005), adopted by the WHO Executive Board on 8 February 2020 (5) ; JILQA' r-Riżoluzzjoni dwar it-Tisħiħ tat-Tħejjija għall-Emerġenzi tas-Saħħa; l-Implimentazzjoni tar-Regolamenti Internazzjonali tas-Saħħa (IHR, 2005), li ġiet adottata mill-Bord Eżekuttiv tad-WHO fit-8 ta' Frar 2020 0.7407407407407407 TAKING INTO ACCOUNT: FILWAQT LI JIRRIKONOXXU LI: 0.8581560283687943 (4) https://www.unece.org/fileadmin/DAM/pau/age/Policy_briefs/ECE-WG1-25.pdf (UNECE Policy Brief on Ageing No 18 (2017)).
