Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2 b (new)
Paragraph 2 b (new)
2 b. Notes with regret that the customs duties forecasts for 2024 have been revised downwards by 18.3%, indicating inadequate budgetary estimates, which results in a substantial loss of own resources for the Union, estimated at approximately 4.5 billion euros; emphasises that this decline necessitates an increase in contributions based on Member States' GNI, thereby imposing an additional burden on European citizens; calls for more rigorous management of the EU budget's own resources and for more reliable and accurate forecasting;
