Paragraph 3
3. Points up the effectiveness of the centralised governance structure laid down by the CEF Regulation; notes that transferring part of Cohesion Fund funding to the CEF has been a great success and that the degree of satisfaction of the Member States concerned opens up the prospect of that mechanism being extended under the next MFF; accordingly proposes an allocation of EUR 20 billion from the European Regional Development Fund to the CEF, with the same management rules to be laid down as for the transfer of management responsibility for Cohesion Fund funding for the CEF; considers that, in view of the big difference between available funding and what is needed, that move would ensure that TEN-T projects in Europe made significant headway;

Amendment 42 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 8
8. Notes that all Member States collect significant volumes of tax and parafiscal revenue that is directly related to transport and that transferring even a minimal proportion of that revenue to the EU as own resources would put it in a better position to meet the new challenges it has to cope with; considers that moving back to the more significant level of own resources that was planned when the European Community was established would bolster the EU’s capacity for political and budgetary action.deleted
