Paragraph 5 b (new)
Paragraph 5 b (new)
5b. Recalls and regrets the game of Council in 2014, insisting on shifting EUSF payments to the 2015 budget, while DAB 3 2015 showed that payments could have been easily made from the 2014 budget. In this light regrets that Council has a tendency not to honour EUSF commitments, and prefers to take money away from other programmes rather than mobilising - as foreseen- additional resources by the special instruments. Insists that such shifting of payments should be prevented in the future.
