Amendment 59 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 14
Paragraph 14
14. Stresses that, 2013 being the last year of the current programming period, catching up will be necessary in terms of payments, as has always been the case at the end of financial perspectives, owing to the start of the completion process of 2007- 2013 programmes, and, in terms of commitments, in order to respect the financial programming amounts; repeats that any artificial cut made to the level of payments will delay meeting both contractual obligations and past EU commitments, and could also result in late interest being due and loss of confidence in European policies and EU Institutions credibility; underlines, therefore, that contractual debts should be paid as soon as possible as a matter of budgetary discipline;
