1. By 15 January of the year in which the Member States have to submit their national medium-term fiscal-structural plans pursuant to Article 11 or, within three weeks of the request of the Member State to submit a revised plan pursuant to Article 15, the Commission shall transmit to the Member State concerned and to the Economic and Financial Committee:

(a) the underlying medium-term public debt projection framework and results;

(b) its macroeconomic forecast and assumptions;

(c) the reference trajectory, if required under Article 5, or the technical information, if requested by a Member State under paragraph 3 of this Article, and the corresponding structural primary balance, including spreadsheet templates and other relevant information required to ensure its full replicability.

2. During the month before the deadline by which the Commission is to transmit to a Member State the prior guidance as referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article, the Member State may request a technical exchange with the Commission. Such technical exchange shall provide an opportunity to discuss the latest statistical information available and the economic and fiscal outlook of the Member State concerned.

3. For Member States that have a general government deficit not exceeding 3 % of GDP and general government debt not exceeding 60 % of GDP, the Commission shall provide, at the request of the Member State, technical information regarding the structural primary balance necessary to ensure that the headline deficit is maintained below 3 % of GDP assuming that there are no additional policy measures over the medium and long-term and indicating whether that implies fiscal adjustment needs. Such technical information shall also be consistent with the deficit resilience safeguard referred to in Article 8.
