(1) The Own Resources System of the Union must ensure adequate resources for the ~~orderly~~ development of the policies of the Union, subject to the need for strict budgetary discipline. The development of the Own Resources System can and should also participate, to the greatest extent possible, in the development of the policies of the Unionand continuation of policies to promote economic, social, and territorial cohesion among and within the Member States of the European Union, as well as social development, sustainable growth, innovation, public investment, respect for the environment, biodiversity conservation, peace, and solidarity.

Recital 6

(6) In order 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 annualprovide the Community budget with more resources and to support future policies to promote cohesion, as well as the redistributive function of the Community budget, it is ~~necessary~~desirable to introduce new categories of Own Resources based, for example, 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~~. However, Own Resources of this type should never outweigh the principle of contribution-based solidarity. That being the case, there should be no reduction in Member States' Gross National Income-based contributions to the Union's annual budget, as those contributions have to constitute the main source of revenue for the Community budget.

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. 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. _________________ 20 Directive 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).deleted

Recital 9

(9) In line with the Union strategy on plastics, the Union budget can contribute to reduce pollution from plastic packaging waste. An Own Resource which is based on a national contribution proportional to the quantity of plastic packaging waste that is not recycled in each Member State will provide an incentive to reduce the consumption of single-use plastics, foster recycling and boost the circular economy. At the same time, Member States will be free to take the most suitable measures to achieve those goals, in line with the principle of subsidiarity.deleted
