Recital 8 a (new)

(8a) The European Parliament has continuously called for the Union budget to be financed wholly by hypothecated tax revenues from the Member States, referred to as own resources in the Treaty, and has regularly highlighted the shortcomings and limits of the existing system of financing, which is non- transparent, unfair, undemocratic, highly complex and totally incomprehensible to the citizens of the Member States, who ultimately bear the consequences.

Draft decision
Recital 8 b (new)

(8b) The European Parliament considers that the current system of Union financing, whereby some 85% of revenues stem from GNI based contributions from the member states, has reinforced the logic of “fair return” that has prevailed in every debate in the Council, both on the revenue and the expenditure side of the Union budget and has led to the introduction of complex and opaque correction mechanisms which, while largely justifiable in their own terms, contribute to the recurrent problem of lack of transparency and democratic accountability in the commitment of taxpayers' funds in the annual budgetary procedure, which later have to be made up from cash calls on the Member States.
