Amendment 55 #
Proposal for a decision
Recital 6
(6) In order to finance the costs of principal and interest of the repayments of the European Recovery Instrument, to better align the Union's financing instruments with its policy priorities, to better reflect the Union's budget role for the functioning of thea fairer Single Market, to better support the objectives of Union policies, such as the Green Deal and digital transformation, and to reduce Member States' Gross National Income- based contributions to the Union's annual budget, it is necessary to introduce new categories of Own Resources based on the Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base, the national revenue stemming from the European Union Emissions Trading System and, a national contribution calculated on the basis of non-recycled plastic packaging waste. Moreover, new Own Resources based on a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, a digital service tax, a Financial Transaction Tax, implemented according to a scheme agreed by all Member States, a European Net Wealth Tax, a Single Market Levy and the revenues from the European Central Bank profits should be introduced to this end as soon as the underlying legal conditions are in place.

Amendment 60 #
Proposal for a decision
Recital 6 a (new)
(6a) The introduction of a basket of new genuine own resources will reduce Member States' Gross National Income- based contributions to the Union's annual budget, ending the "zero sum game" and "juste retour" routines and will make the EU budget more efficient, effective and transparent, because it addresses areas that are a priority for the EU and where the money collected and spent at EU level create more and better public goods, compared to the public funds spending at national level.

Amendment 78 #
Proposal for a decision
Recital 9 a (new)
(9a) The conditions that applied to the UK for supporting the introduction of rebates, as established in the European Council conclusions of Fontainebleau in 1984, are not valid anymore and therefore all the related correction mechanism granted to Germany, Austria, Denmark, Sweden and the Netherlands shall be abolished for the sake of fairness and transparency.

Amendment 89 #
Proposal for a decision
Recital 10
(10) It is necessary to avoid that Member States which benefit from corrections are confronted with a significant and sudden increase in their national contributions. It is therefore necessary to provide for temporary corrections in favour of Austria, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden by means of lump sum reductions to their Gross National Income-based contributions during a transitional period. Those corrections should be phased out by the end of 2025. deleted Or. en (NOTE: the text comes from COM(2018)0325)
