Draft opinion
Paragraph 5 c (new)
Paragraph 5 c (new)
5 c. Recalls that programme implementation was initially slow in the current MFF, increasing the likelihood of payment obligations spilling over into the next MFF and having to be settled under the new payment ceilings; stresses the need to avoid a repetition of the payment crises that occurred at the end of the 2007-2013 MFF, since the beneficiaries of education and culture programmes are often individuals and small organisations that can ill afford payment delays; points out that payment delays severely undermine the benefits of the programme and ultimately erode trust in the European project;
