Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Considers that the five-year strategic objectives of the Commission, ultimately the political base for its overall programming, and their annual translation into the Annual Policy Strategy (APS), should be much better linked with the Multi-annual Financial Frameworks (MFF), with a view to streamlining the timing and adoption of these into one coherent strategy with the corresponding resources and therefore believes that the MFF should itself be of five years' duration;
