Paragraph 16
16. Invites the Commission to explore new policies suggested by international institutions that support and contribute to financing a just transition and sustainable growth, as well as aiming to restore Member States’ public finances; calls for the newEU leaders and the Commission to take bold decisions to urgently put in place a basket of new own resources to include income stemming from EU policies favouring both the implementation of environmental protection and the preservation of a fair single market; recalls that these own resources need to be put in place as quickly as possible, and at least as of 2021, and to be permanent; underlines that all financing for the EU Recovery Instrument must be financed on top of existing and upcoming EU policies and must not affect the long-term priorities of the Union and its strategic objectives, nor result in smaller MFFs;
