Germany considered appropriate to the general plan for economic recovery in this proposed Wednesday by the European Commission, but still wants to "discuss the details", according to the deputy spokesman of the government.
"The orders of magnitude proposed by the Commission are appropriate," Thomas Steg said in a press interview.
Brussels predicted a total of 200 billion euros for his plan, the equivalent of 1.5% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the European Union. The effort calls for each state in particular to contribute with 1.2% of national GDP.
Steg stressed in turn that Germany had already exceeded the expectations of the European executive, adopting measures for a total of 32 billion euros, or 1.3% of GDP to sustain the German economy.
"As regards details of the plan, you must also discuss with the Commission," said Steg.
He also said that the measures it wants to fund with the European budget, the Commission must be content "with existing funds."
Furthermore, Steg rejected the relief of Value Added Tax (VAT), either in general or for specific sectors, such as catering or the hotel business: "It's a bad idea," he said. Brussels, in contrast, advocates a temporary relief from the TVA general and definitive for the sectors with heavy use of labor.
