Amendments (4)

Amendment 34 #
Proposal for a decision
Recital 1 a (new)
(1a) The Decision on the System of Own Resources, furthermore, provides the legal basis for the Commission to borrow funds on the capital markets in order to finance expenditure in the framework of the European Union Recovery Instrument. The related costs of the principal and interest of the repayments must be re-financed by the Union budget in a pre-defined timeframe depending on the maturities of the bonds issued and the debt repayment strategy. Such costs should not lead to an undue reduction in programme expenditure or investment instruments under the Multiannual Financial Framework, nor should they result in sharp increases in national contributions. Therefore, such costs should be covered by the income from genuine new Own Resources. Any amounts generated by such new Own Resources beyond what is necessary to cover the repayment obligations should lead to an increase of the Union's budget. Any new Own Resources should continue to fund the Union budget as general revenue after the end of the repayment plan.

Proposal for a decision
Recital 1 b (new)
(1b) The reform of the EU system of own resources provides a window of opportunity to strengthen the fight against tax fraud, tax evasion and tax avoidance. The implementation of a new basket of own resources is key to fairer and modern systems of taxation in the EU.

Amendment 54 #
Proposal for a decision
Recital 6
(6) In order to finance the costs of principal and interest of the repayments of the European Union Recovery Instrument, to better align the Union's financing instruments with its policy priorities, to better reflect the Union's budget role for the functioning of the Single Market, to better support the objectives of Union policies and to reduce Member States' Gross National Income- based contributions to the Union's annual budget, it is necessary to introduce new categories of Own Resources based on the Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base, the national revenue stemming from the European Union Emissions Trading System and a national contribution calculated on the basis of non-recycled plastic packaging waste. Moreover, new Own Resources based on a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, a digital services tax and the Financial Transaction Tax should be introduced to this end as soon as the underlying legal conditions are in place. The Commission should make the necessary legislative proposal for the mentioned own resources and potential other new own resources, which support the European Green Deal as well as the functioning of the Single Market and efforts to improve the effectiveness of corporate taxation, as soon as possible.
