Paragraph 4
4. Regrets, however, that the 2014 contributions from the ERDF to the cross- border programmes under the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA) and the European Neighbourhood Instrument (ENI) are transferred to 2017; considers that these programmes, although being limited in financial terms, are of great importance for both the Member States and candidate or neighbouring countries involved; stresses the potential difficulties and delays that this transfer may cause at the operational level, despite the commitments envisaged for 2015 and 2016; emphasises that continuity of the policy supported by these two instruments should be guaranteed;

Amendment 10 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 6 a (new)
6a. Expresses concern that under the MFF revision the European Commission foresees to allocate over 78% of the unused 2014 commitments to 2015, thus exercising pressure on some Member States to contract and absorb the allocation through the operational programmes and posing a risk of losing funds at the end of the period;

7. Considers that the proposed DAB 2/2015 does not address sufficiently this issue of payments, and requesexpects the Commission to provide complete and timely information and data on the appraisal of the payments' forecasts by the end of March, so that all measures and instruments to meet payments needs under heading 1b may be put forward sufficiently in advance in order not to aggravate further the payments backlog;
