Further macro-financial assistance to Tunisia

The European Parliament adopted by 561 votes to 76, with 42 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the proposal for a decision of the European Parliament and of the Council providing further macro-financial assistance to Tunisia.

Parliament adopted its position at first reading taking over the Commission proposal.

To recall, the text seeks to propose further macro-financial assistance of EUR 500 million to Tunisia in the form of a loan.

This assistance programme aims to support reforms undertaken by Tunisia to overcome its difficult economic and balance of payments situation and to create a more favourable climate to promote investment.
