Amendment 5 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2 a (new)
Paragraph 2 a (new)
2a. Believes that it is of the utmost importance, against the background of climate change and the need for a united EU with financial resources for climate and energy policy, for these new priorities to have an impact as soon as possible, and no later than in conjunction with this mid-term review. To wait until the next multiannual financial framework in 2014 would be unreasonable.
Amendment 15 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 5 a (new)
Paragraph 5 a (new)
5a. Believes that research of the highest scientific quality increasingly requires investment in research infrastructure. The seventh framework programme's budget for research infrastructure during the 2007-2013 period matches neither the needs nor potential of European research. This sector must become an important priority ahead of the mid-term review of the financial framework.

Paragraph 8
Paragraph 8
8. Recalls that the own resources ceiling represents 1,33 % of EU GNI in commitments and 1,24 % of EU GNI in payments; also recalls that every year significant margins are left below the ceiling set up by the financial framework, notably in payments (EUR 8 300 000 000 in 2007, 13 000 000 000 in 2008, 7 800 000 000 in 2009); moreover recalls that huge margins exist between the MFF ceiling and the ceiling of the EU own resources (EUR 36 600 000 000 in 2010, 44 200 000 000 in 2011, 45 000 000 000 in 2012 and 50 600 000 000 in 2013); concludes that proposals for improved implementation of the budget must be a priority for the mid-term review;
