Amendments (4)

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 1 a (new)
Paragraph 1 a (new)
1 a. Stresses that the draft Council regulation amending the MFF is part of a package of legislation and that its adoption will enable rapid support to be provided to Ukraine and ensure reinforcements can be introduced already into the 2024 budget through an amending budget and for the remaining years of the MFF period; underlines that the MFF revision represents a clear improvement on the status quo, although some aspects contained in the draft Council regulation are not optimal, leaving the EU budget under pressure, with limited margins and flexibility, with cuts to key programmes and with reduced ambition in important future-oriented policy areas, such as sovereignty;

4. Recalls that Parliament has worked rapidly and constructively from the outset to enable swift adoption of the MFF package; regrets the fact that the process was beset by political difficulties among Member States, causing unwelcome delays in the Council; is disappointed that the Council and Commission did not apply the provisions of the Treaties and the IIA to enable proper engagement earlier in the process; insists that, in future, cooperation must be put in place at the beginning of any revision procedure, despite delays in the Council caused by Orbán’s blackmail leading to the extremely tight pragmatic deadlines imposed by the late agreement; calls for the changes introduced in this revision to be implemented without further delay, in particular to ensure the timely payment of financial support to Ukraine, given the urgency of the needs;

37.
