1. To assess the plausibility of whether the projected general government debt ratio of a Member State is on a downward path or remains at a prudent level, the Commission shall apply a replicable, predictable and transparent methodology based on the following conditions:

(a) general government debt ratio declines or stays at prudent levels, under the deterministic scenarios of the Commission’s medium-term government debt projection framework;

(b) the risk of the general government debt ratio not decreasing in the five years following the adjustment period of the national medium-term fiscal-structural plan is sufficiently low, the assessment of which shall be based on the Commission’s Debt Sustainability Analysis.

2. The competent committee of the European Parliament may invite the Commission to present its methodology in the context of the economic dialogue referred to in Article 28.

3. The Commission shall make public its plausibility assessment and the spreadsheet templates containing the underlying data as well as other relevant information to ensure the replicability of results at the time of the submission of the national medium-term fiscal-structural plan pursuant to Article 11.
