Recital 5 a (new)
(5a) General taxation of energy consumption should be used in part for a future new system of own resources for the European Union budget. This would reduce Member State contributions, easing the fiscal burden on labour. In addition, it is appropriate to establish a link between the new own resource for the Union budget and energy infrastructure financing.
