Welcomes the Commission’s proposal not to claim from the Member States the reimbursement of unspent pre- financing paid at the start of the year, i.e. the provision that Member States would not need to return the funds remaining from the planned expenditures to the Commission, while acknowledging that it may create a financial gap in the 2020 budget (pre-financing constitutes the assigned revenue for the EU budget) and in consequence may result in increased need of payment appropriations in the budget for the year 2021; underlines the need for sufficient pre-financing for the cohesion programmes of MFF 2014-2020 at the level of 3 % stemming from legislative acts in force.
