Dear Commissioner Dombrovskis,  I am contacting you to urge the European Commission and Member States to suspend the current economic governance rules, to provide scope to deal with the crisis that the EU is facing.  The recent announcement by President von der Leyen that she “will propose to activate the escape clause for defence investments” is a further confirmation that the rules are inadequate for the EU to invest in its future, in particular in this volatile environment. 

ETUC General Secretary has extended the condolences and solidarity of the ETUC to ver.di Munich, following an attack on a rally they held earlier today.
