Paragraph 7

7. Considers that these new own resources are necessary to avoid the next generation of Europeans paying the price for the repayment of the principal and the interest of the funds borrowed under NGEU, either through an increased burden on taxpayers or via cuts in regular EU programmes directly affecting beneficiaries and project-holders; notes the legitimate demand by Europeans for more social and tax justice; warns against any attempt to reduce funding for ordinary EU policies to make space for the repayment of EU debt, as this would endanger long-term EU goals, such as economic convergence, research and innovation or the green transition;deleted

Paragraph 8

8. Regrets that the current way in which the EU budget is financed subjects it to national budgetary constraints, thus leading to ~~undue downward pressure on its – already modest – overall volume and~~ a ‘juste retour’ logic that does not reflect fully the solidarity principle at the core of EU integration; believes that this structure is one of the main reasons preventing the EU from fulfilling all its tasks effectively; is very concerned by the slow progress in the modernisation of the own resources system since the creation of the European Communities;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 9

9. Calls on the Member States in the Council to adopt, as soon as possible, the new own resources from the first package of 14 December 2021; worries, however, that the amounts generated by the new own resources will not be sufficient to cover all NGEU repayments and borrowing costs; calls, therefore, on the Commission to come forward with the next batch of proposals in the third quarter of 2023 at the latest; insists that these proposals take into account the priorities of the European Parliament as outlined in here;deleted

Paragraph 10

10. Urges all actors to continue the efforts to identify fresh and new, preferably genuine, own resources and other revenue sources for the EU budget with the aim of fully covering the overall expected expenditure for the repayment of the principal and the interest of the funds borrowed under the NGEU and ~~reinforcing~~making sure that the EU bBudget ~~where the ‘1 % of EU GDP dogma’ is to be abandoned~~can properly deliver on key EU policies;

Paragraph 11

11. Believes that the EU revenue side should be used strategically to ~~create incentives for more~~strengthen the EU´s competitiveness and to create incentives for more innovation in Europe as well as social and tax justice; underlines that green own resources should be complemented by tax-based own resources from the corporate sector for reasons of sufficiency, fiscal equivalence (those who benefit from the EU and its open markets should also contribute their fair share to its financing) and overall distributional fairness among Member States and sectors, always taking into account the competiveness of European industry;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 14

14. Deplores the fact that the production chains for certain products and items entering the EU single market involve workers from third countries who do not receive a decent wage and, in some cases, live in extreme poverty; points out that importing such commodities into the EU leads to unfair competition (‘social dumping’) with goods produced in the EU where strict regulations and high standards apply; is very concerned by the inhumane living conditions of the poorest people worldwide; calls, in this regard, for the EU to live up to its promises in terms of sustainable standards and human development;deleted

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 15

15. Calls, therefore, for the establishment of a ‘fair border tax’ requiring companies importing goods into the EU to pay a levy for any workers in their global supply chain who are paid a daily wage that is insufficient to allow them to escape absolute poverty, as characterised by international organisations; underlines that any company importing into the EU single market products made by workers paid less than a fixed poverty threshold would have to pay a duty amounting to the difference between this threshold and the salary their workers receive;deleted

Angelika WINZIG, Jörgen WARBORN

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16

16. Considers that the EU ‘fair border tax’ would incentivise companies operating in the EU to raise salaries in their global supply chains and thus improve living conditions for workers in third countries and drive reform in countries with poor labour standards and regulations, while ensuring that European consumers do not contribute to extreme exploitation; notes that the competitiveness of companies producing in the EU could improve under this mechanism; points out that this mechanism should comply with World Trade Organization (WTO) rules, in particular Article XX(b) for the protection of human life or health;deleted

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 17

17. Suggests the introduction of a European tax on crypto-assets, whose revenues would flow into the European budget as a new own resource; points out that the global market in crypto-assets has been growing rapidly (albeit unstably) since the 2008 crisis, with capitalisation reaching up to EUR 2 trillion in May 2021; notes that crypto-assets are progressively considered as a genuine means of payment and part of investment strategies; underlines that regulating and taxing crypto-assets at EU level is more efficient than at national level given their high mobility and cross-border dimension; stresses, in this regard, that a European tax on crypto-assets would foster the emergence of a harmonised tax framework for crypto-assets, be more consistent with the cross-border nature of the crypto-assets market, and encourage the adoption of tax standards at the global level;deleted

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 18

18. Stresses that several taxation options are conceivable for crypto-assets, such as a tax on capital gains resulting from crypto-asset activities (based on a uniform levy rate for all EU Member States), a tax on crypto-asset transactions or a tax on the mining and trading of crypto-assets determined according to their electricity consumption and environmental impact; calls on the Commission to assess the impact of these options on the European crypto-asset market, to estimate potential revenues and to come forward with a concrete proposal;deleted

19. Recalls that in its position of 23 November 202215 , Parliament stated that in the event of a clear lack of progress at OECD level towards the Multilateral Convention by the end of 2023, a legislative proposal should be submitted for a digital levy or similar measure that can be enacted unilaterally and which can serve as a basis for an own resource of the Union in order to generate revenues by 2026; welcomes the debate over the contribution of large digital operators to network costs; _________________ 15 Texts adopted, P9_TA(2022)0404.deleted

Paragraph 21

21. Sees high potential added value in own resources in the form of statistics- based national contributions which provide Member States with an incentive and a reward for vigorous implementation of EU-level policies; calls on the Commission to assess and simulate the impact of such national contributions calculated on the basis of statistics in the social or environmental areas where robust, common harmonised Eurostat data are available on an annual basis;deleted

Paragraph 23

23. Calls, specifically, for the establishment of a gender pay gap-based own resource; underlines that, under this mechanism, a share of contributions based on gross national income (GNI) would be replaced by a new distribution key requiring Member States with a higher gender pay gap to contribute more than Member States with smaller gender pay gap, in a proportionate way;deleted
