Draft decision
Recital 8 b (new)

(8b) The European Parliament considers that the current system of Union financing, whereby some 85% of revenues stem from national contributions (GNI based and VAT based) instead of genuine own resources, has only reinforced the logic of “fair return” that has prevailed in every debate in the Council, both on the revenue and the expenditure side of the Union budget and has led to the introduction of complex and opaque rebates and other correction mechanisms. The European Parliament considers also that the current system prevents the formation of a sufficient majority in Council to budgetise a sufficient level of payment appropriations in the annual budgets to meet EU legal obligations and political commitments.

Jutta HAUG

Draft decision
Recital 8 c (new)

(8c) The European Parliament has strongly advocated in favour of an in-depth reform of the own resources system that should return to a system of genuine, clear, simple and fair own resources. The European Parliament considered that the Commission legislative proposals on own resources of June 2011 were taking a step in the right direction and were, as such, supported by an overwhelming majority of the European Parliament from the outset; The European Parliament regrets that the Council was unable to make any progress on the reform of the own resources system on the basis of those legislative proposals. The European Parliament regrets that the final European Council political agreement on 8 February 2013 has even introduced new rebates and exceptions.

Draft decision
Recital 8 e (new)

(8e) The outcome of the work of the High Level Group shall be assessed in an inter- institutional conference during 2016, with the participation of national parliaments and possibly give rise to new Own Resources initiatives by the Commission. This assessment should be done in parallel to the MFF 2014 -2020 post electoral review/revision, to be launched by the Commission by the end of 2016 at the latest. The European Parliament believes that the work of this High Level Group should pave the way for possible reforms be agreed and become operational for the period covered by MFF post-2020.
