vii. recognise that these new needs cannot be met only through redeployment or reprioritisation and use of available flexibility mechanisms, without a revision of the MFFthat a revision of the MFF and the flexibility mechanisms included in the IIA is necessary, contrary to the Council's position as set out in its conclusions of 16 March 2010 on the budget guidelines for 2011 and reaffirmed by the Presidency-in- office in its statements during the 15 June 2010 debate on oral question B7- 0310/2010 O- 0074/2010; and that,recall furthermore that new needs stemming from the entry into force of the Lisbon TreatyTreaty of Lisbon should logically entail savings at national and regional level;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 1 - point xvi
Paragraph 1 - point xvi
xvi. given its possible far-reaching budgetary consequences, give further thought to the European Financial Stabilisation Mechanism ahead of the adoption of the MFF regulation; accept that both arms of the budgetary authority be involved in decisions concerning the impact this mechanism could have on the EU budget; agree that any possible budgetary needs linked to this mechanism should be financed through an ad-hoc revision of the MFF and that therefore arrangements need to be found within the IIA to ensure a smooth effective and efficient cooperation between the institutions and to provide the necessary transparency;
