Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 24

24. Considers that the traditional own resources, namely customs duties, agricultural duties ~~and the sugar and isoglucose levies~~, constitute a reliable and genuine source of EU revenue, as they arise directly from the EU being a customs union and from the legal competences and common commercial policy linked to that; takes the view, therefore, that the traditional own resources should be retained as a source of revenue for the EU budget; considers that if the proportion of collection costs retained by Member States is reduced, a bigger share of this revenue can be secured for the EU budget;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 25

25. Acknowledges that the GNI-based contribution provides a reliable and stable source of revenue for the EU budget, and benefits from very strong support from a large majority of Member States; believes, therefore, that it should be preserved as a balancing and residual resource for the EU budget, which would put an end to the budgetary logic of ‘fair return’; stresses the need, in this context, to ensure that the GNI contribution is classified in the same manner in all national budgets, namely as revenue attributed to the EU and not as expenditure of national governments;

Paragraph 37

37. Takes notes of the Commission’s proposals for a CCCTB, while recalling its request that this consolidated base be extended to as many companies as possible; draws attention to the fact that current proposals for a CCCTB suggest also covering the digital economy; suggests, on the basis of these proposals, that the digital presence of a company shou1d be treated in the same way as the physical establishment thereof;deleted

Paragraph 38

38. Agrees with the HLGOR’s assessment of the CCCTB as a basis for a new own resource, meeting all the criteria set by the Group; underlines that the CCCTB is also a key element in the development of the single market, which is a European public good, as it prevents both inappropriate tax competition between Member States and fiscal optimisation damaging to the level playing field;deleted

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 41

41. Considers, however, that such a tax, chargeable at the moment the transaction occurs, must be applied throughout the EU, so as to limit purely speculative operations and reduce the number of divergent national approaches to financial transaction taxation, since this is a source of disruption for the financial markets and for the smooth functioning of the single market;deleted
