The amendment envisages the increase, through a supplementary budget, of the finance ministry’s spending ceiling by 5.0 billion euros. The Fiscal Council has approved the measure, which will be covered by both community funds and borrowing. The EU has given member-states significant flexibility to offer their national healthcare systems all the funds needed to deal with the pandemic.
