Presentation of the petition ND4E (*)
by Lucio Levi
In his speech on the State of the Union, President Juncker described the “existential crisis” of the Union and foreshadowed the risk of disintegration of the EU. The commitment to mend the shortcomings of the institutional architecture of the EU is complicated by the fact that a large number of citizens feel that the EU institutions do not respond to their needs. This is the reason why governments are reluctant to address the problem of the institutional reforms after the negative experience of the French and Dutch referenda on the European Constitution.
We firmly believe that the best way to regain citizens' consent towards the European institutions lies in reforms within the boundaries of the Lisbon Treaty. The European Fund for Strategic Investments represents a step in the right direction, since, after years of austerity policies, it finally gives priority to growth, competitiveness and job creation. But its current financial endowment is insufficient to face not only the issues of unemployment and stagnation but also the new challenges of migration and foreign and security policy.
The EU needs new own resources that can be drawn, through the institution of enhanced cooperations, from
a) a financial transactions tax
to penalize financial speculation,
to charge the financial oligarchies the cost of the damages caused to the ordinary citizens and the welfare system,
to start a socially and ecologically sustainable development;
b) a carbon tax
to discourage the use of fossil fuels,
to promote the transition towards renewable energies,
being the low price of oil an extraordinary opportunity to introduce this tax;
c) the revenue of the above-mentiond taxes can guarantee the emission of euro project-bonds, involving the EIB in the investigation and management of investment interventions, finding financial resources in the private sector;
d) the bonds that the ECB can purchase within the framework of quantitative easing.
The need for new own resources in on the European agenda in the second half of this year, when the conclusion of the works of the high level group on the EU own resources chaired by Mario Monti, the revision of the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF).
The petition ND4E, that is expression of a wide alignment of European civil and political society forces, wants to underline that now it is time to act. And the European Parliament has the potential to play a crucial role to turn people's expectations into reality.

The Campaign New Deal for Europe (ND4E) briefly
The Campaign ND4E started in 2012.
It has been promoted by 10 National Committees
and endorsed by
68 NGOs
13 Trade Union Organisations
126 Mayors (among which those of Paris, Lille, Lyon, Roma and Torino)
73 MEPs
47 personalities of the world of culture and politics
5 out of 6 candidates to the Presidency for the European Commission of the major political parties
In 2014-15 a European Citizens' Initiative (ECI) on “A European Special Plan for Sustainable Development and Employment” was promoted and withdrawn as soon as the European Commission started the European Fund for Strategic Investments. ND4E is the only example of an ECI whose proposal has been taken in by the European Commission.
But, owing to the insufficient amount of resources mobilised by the Fund, the petition ND4E is focused on the creation of new EU own resources.
