Paragraph 1
1. Welcomes the EUR 60 billion in commitments and EUR 57,8 billion in payments that the Commission proposes in the Draft Budget (DB) 2019 for Heading 2, which, in relation to the 2018 budget, respectively represent an increase of 1,2% for commitment appropriations and 3,0% for payment appropriations; notes, however, that as far as the EAGF is concerned, this increase is attributable to the lower amount of assigned revenue estimated to be available to the EAGF in the DB 2019 compared to the 2018 budget; recommends that all should be made to avoid an accumulation of backlog payments for the next MFF (2021 - 2027);
