Recital 43
(43) In view of the increased volume of borrowing and lending operations carried out by the Commission on behalf of the Union to finance the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, transparency regarding those operations should be further enhanced. To address the increased complexity of those operations and in order to ensure better visibility of their content, a comprehensive overview of borrowing and lending operations carried out by the Commission should be added to the document annexed to the section of the budget relating to the Commission. The practice of the EU raising funds on the capital markets or from financial institutions should not be perpetuated. The financing of recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic occurred due to a unique crisis situation, which should not set a general precedent for financing the EU budget from new debt. Such a practice is contrary to the founding principles of the EU and goes beyond the financial responsibility assumed by Member States upon entry into the EU.

Recital 43 a (new)
(43 a) In the implementation of the diversified funding strategy pursuant to Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2022/2434 of 6 December 2022, particular attention should be paid to the fact that the raising of significant amounts on the capital market for the sole purpose of financing the measures to address the consequences of the COVID 19 crisis was a unique and one-off authorisation. The diversified funding strategy should under no circumstances lead to a perpetuation of the financing of the Union budget through borrowing on the capital market.
