The development of the Own Resources System can and should also participate, to the greatest extent possible, in line with the principle of budgetary financing embodied in the Treaties.

Proposal for a decision
Recital 3 a (new)
(3a) New ways of financing the European budget should be explored in line with Article 311 TFEU. The Commission must therefore continue to submit proposals for new Own Resources, especially in the framework of the internal market, to progressively reduce direct contributions from Member States, thereby easing the pressure on their budgets. It should accordingly continue its efforts to introduce a financial transaction tax acceptable to all EU Members as a possible means of generating new Own Resources for the EU budget.

Amendment 73 #
Proposal for a decision
Recital 8
(8) The Union considers as a priority to achieve its emission reduction target of at least 40% between 1990 and 2030 as committed under the Paris Climate Agreement. The European Union Emissions Trading System is one of the main instruments put in place to implement this objective and generates revenue through the auctioning of emission allowances. Considering the harmonised nature of the European Union Emissions Trading System as well as the funding provided by the Union to foster mitigation and adaptation efforts in the Member States, it is appropriate to introduce a new Own Resource for the EU budget in this context. This Own Resource should be based on the allowances to be auctioned by Member States, including transitional free allocation to the power sector, while simultaneously encouraging emissions reduction in line with the Green Deal recommendations and the Paris Agreements. In order to take account of the specific provisions for certain Member States provided for in Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council20, allowances redistributed for the purposes of solidarity, growth and interconnections as well as allowances dedicated to the Innovation Fund and the Modernisation Fund should not be counted for determining the Own Resource contribution. _________________ 20Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 establishing a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community and amending Council Directive 96/61/EC (OJ L 275, 25.10.2003, p. 32).

Amendment 87 #
Proposal for a decision
Recital 10
(10) It is necessary to avoid that Member States which benefit from corrections are confronted with a significant and sudden increase in their national contributions. It is therefore necessary to provide for temporary corrections in favour of Austria, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden by means of lump sum reductions to their Gross National Income-based contributions during a transitional period. Those corrections should be phased out by the end of 2025. deleted Or. it (NOTE: the text comes from COM(2018)0325)
