2. Takes into account that amounts set out in the MFF for each heading are the maximum amounts of expenditure and constitute the frame for annual budgets; wishes to see that the final budget is closer to these upper limits; which might help to finance numerous aims of vital importance of the European Union without jeopardising current policies and programmes; notes that some of the Community programmes are still underfinanced; states that the EU needs more ambitious financial and budgetary decisions allowing it to assume its role mainly in the area of economic growth and jobs and in the external policy area, in which the resources are scarce;

10. Disagrees, as a first solution, with the intentions of shifting appropriations between headings in the event of shortfalls under one heading, and favours instead finding long- term solutions which would make the EU budget sufficient to meet all the needs; underlines that margins available under each heading of the MFF (especially heading 2) cannot be taken for granted, due to changing economic conditions; considers it more appropriate to address directly the insufficient category of expenditure in order to avoid hindering other expenditure areas;
