Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7. Recalls that the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI) guarantee fund has been financed partly at the expense of Horizon 2020 and the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF); reiterates Parliament’s long-standing position that any new initiatives should be financed by new appropriations; and commits to correcting the dammage done to existing programmes through the annual budgetary procedure.
Amendment 108 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10
Paragraph 10
10. Considers that the 2019 budget, at a time when key actors are unwilling to implement their commitments to fight climate change under the Paris Agreement, must place the EU squarely at the forefront of this fight; in this light, recalls that both the European Court of Auditors and ECOFIN have ascertained that the EU is falling short of its climate financing target. Emphasis that climate mainstreaming entails both the boosting of financing for mitigation and adaptation as well as the phasing out of financing that contributes directly or indirectly to increasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 14
Paragraph 14
14. Believes that both the EU and the Member States should demonstrate solidarity towards migrants arriving in Europe in facing up to this challenge; believes that EU agencies and policies involved in or relating to the management of migration flows should be adequately financed to meet this challenge and that the EU, in order to mitigate the cost in the long term and by acting in a manner befitting its values, should also demonstrate solidarity in creating conditions for peace and prosperity in the countries of origin by placing greater emphasis on development policies; recalls that the redeployment of funding from development to security and defence objectives must be avoided; recognises the importance and the distinct value of development policy, with objectives such as poverty eradication, education, health and economic development in their own right.
