EU leaders to consider ‘Marshall Plan’ for Europe
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/...s-to-consider-marshall-plan-for-europe-148703
In a draft statement prepared ahead of the leaders' discussion and seen by POLITICO, officials wrote that the bloc would need an “exit strategy, a comprehensive recovery plan and unprecedented investment” for the coronavirus crisis, and would “invite the Commission to start work on a proposal for a Roadmap for recovery accompanied by an Action Plan.”
It is all rather abstract now, but what I wanted is a universal income support directly to individuals, rather than using the existing EU funding mechanisms which are way too bureaucratic and too slow. Besides, supporting economic development through EU funds is rather more about supporting political elites than really helping the people. Somehow I believe things should be very different this time.
What do you think, what are the ideas about checks being send to people directly in the US or the UK?
For instance, do you believe that US oil industry should be supported? Or is it time for them to go under with cheap crude oil?
