(10)National medium-term fiscal-structural plans should bring together the fiscal policy, structural reforms and investments of each Member State. Those plans should be the cornerstone of the economic governance framework of the Union. Each Member State should present a national medium-term fiscal-structural plan setting out its fiscal path as well as priority public investments and reforms that together ensure sustained and gradual debt reduction and sustainable and inclusive growth, avoiding a pro-cyclical fiscal policy. Those plans should also include broader reforms and investments, including in relation to common priorities of the Union, namely the green transition, including the European Green Deal and the transition to climate neutrality by 2050 in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2021/1119 and through the implementation of the national energy and climate plans submitted pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote; the digital transition, including the Digital Decade Policy Programme 2030 established by Decision (EU) 2022/2481 of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote; social and economic resilience and the implementation of the European Pillar of Social Rights, including the related targets on employment, skills and poverty reduction by 2030; energy security; and the build-up of defence capabilities where applicable including the Strategic Compass for Security and Defence, or subsequent Union acts relevant for those priorities. During the period of operation of the Recovery and Resilience Facility established by Regulation (EU) 2021/241 of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote, commitments undertaken in the national recovery and resilience plans should be duly taken into account when national medium-term fiscal-structural plans are drawn up.
