D. whereas, faced with the impossibility of changing the overall MFF figures decided by the European Council, the Parliament focused on improving the execution of the MFF by successfully negotiateding the inclusion of several key new provisions that will help to make the new financial framework and the new EU annual budget more operational, consistent, transparent and responsive to the needs of EU citizens and to allow the MFF ceilings to be fully used; whereas these provision concern, in particular, the new arrangements relating to the MFF revision, flexibility, own resources, and the unity and transparency of the EU budget;
Amendment 18 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
