| 14. Stresses that the fight against fraud requires a comprehensive and coherent governance approach, involving a wide range of actors and interconnected processes covering all main stages of the anti-fraud cycle, namely prevention, detection, investigation, prosecution, recovery and sanctions; stresses that weaknesses or fragmentation at any stage reduce the effectiveness of the entire system; insists that, without substantial progress at the stage of timely and effective recovery of funds and the application of appropriate sanctions, efforts in prevention and detection lose part of their deterrent effect; calls on the Commission, in cooperation with OLAF, the EPPO and the competent national authorities, to develop and apply harmonised indicators enabling the assessment of the real budgetary impact of anti-fraud policies, to guide decision-making and the allocation of resources; | 14.

| 63. Is deeply concerned about the ECA’s findings that the stock of EU loans increased by more than 30 % in 2024, as a direct result of the use of capital markets to finance large-scale programmes such as SURE and NGEU; notes that the total outstanding debt of the EU could exceed EUR 900 billion by 2027, almost 10 times higher than the level observed in 2020 before the creation of NGEU; notes the absence of a clear, predictable and credible deleveraging strategy, even though the rapid and continuous growth of debt exposes the EU budget to increased sustainability risks, particularly in times of high interest rates; stresses that the dramatic increase in the EU’s indebtedness is automatically restricting the budgetary margins available in the current MFF; calls on the Commission to present without delay a comprehensive assessment of the EU’s debt sustainability, including medium- and long-term management scenarios, and to identify the measures necessary to ensure that debt developments do not jeopardise fiscal stability or the protection of the EU’s financial interests; urges the Commission to increase transparency on emissions, borrowing costs and associated risks, in line with the recommendations of the ECA; insists that, as a result of this unprecedented fiscal pressure, a rigorous cost-benefit analysis should be mandatory for all new EU spending programmes; | 63.
