Motion for a resolution Paragraph 22 22. Recalls that the financing of these priorities through the reallocation of funds must not be detrimental to traditional EU policies such as the cohesion or structural policies, since cohesion policy, by its unique multilevel governance structure and horizontal character, is predestined to play an important role in the implementation of the EU2020 strategy, furthering subsidiarity by means of a bottom-up approach and enhancing acceptance and mobilizing support by the citizens of the Union; points out that these policies fulfil the founding principle of the EU, namely social inclusion and solidarity amongst Member States and regions;

Amendment 202 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 17 b (new) 17b. Underlines that the prioritisation of EU expenditure linked with efficient and effective spending as well as the exploitation of synergy potentials makes savings of up to five percent possible in all areas of the EU budget without diminishing the effect or quality of Community policy; supports a haircut unless a highest added EU value is proven; stresses that the savings generated from the haircut should be redeployed in areas of highest European added value with additional financing needs;
Amendment 204 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 17 d (new) 17d. Recalls the persistent position of the European Parliament on the need to maintain within the EU budget the financing of all European policies; stresses, therefore, that any budgetary means deployed in parallel to the EU budget, such as the EDF or the fast-start effort to the developing countries to combat climate change that was decided by the European Council in January 2010, should be reintegrated in the EU budget in order to achieve a maximum leverage effect of the community resources;
Amendment 213 #

Amendment 218 #

Amendment 241 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 22 b (new) 22b. Reiterates the need to ensure utmost transparency and democratic scrutiny for innovative financial instruments and mechanisms that involve the EU budget; calls on the Commission to ensure a prior consultation of the Budgetary Authority and a continuous information flow as regards the use of these instruments across the Union, which can allow for the Parliament to verify that its political priorities are met;
Amendment 265 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 27 27. Strongly believes that an assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of each Member States' management and control systems in individual policy areas is necessary in order to improve the quality of Member States' management and control of EU funds; further believes that better management, less bureaucracy and better, not more, controls are necessary to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of EU funds; points out that the risk of error can increase if the rules to be observed are complex and unclear, leading also to less transparency ;
Amendment 268 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 27 a (new) 27a. Underlines the importance of legal certainty and budgetary continuity for the successful implementation of multi- annual policies and programmes; believes, therefore, that rules should not change during programming periods without due justification and adequate impact assessment, as this can result in higher transition costs, slower implementation and increasing risk of error;
Amendment 269 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 27 b (new) 27b. Points, in particular, to the fact that in the field of EU cohesion policy a certain continuity needs to be assured between the programming periods as regards the establishment of national management and control systems and authorities , in order to avoid unnecessary delays in the implementation of Structural Fund programmes;
Amendment 272 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 28 a (new) 28a. Asks for the abolition of existing administrative overlaps and double structures both at EU and national levels in the next MFF; calls, in this context, on the Commission to evaluate existing agencies and structures at national and EU level in order to determine such duplications and take the results into account in its corresponding proposals for the next period;

Amendment 370 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 38 38. Stresses the need to enhance, stimulate and secure the financing of research and development in the Union via a significant increase in relevant expenditure from 2013, namely for the Eighth Research Framework Programme; emphasises that this increase of funds must be coupled with a more result-oriented, performance-driven approach and with a radical simplification of funding procedures; highlights that more than one fourth of the total cohesion funding in the current programming period is dedicated to investments on R&D and innovation and stresses that the catalytic role the EU cohesion policy can play, in this respect, in the next MFF should be continued and strengthened;
Amendment 372 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 38 a (new) 38a.

Motion for a resolution Paragraph 105 c (new) 105c.

Is irritated by the letter of the five heads of state and government1 calling for a cap in EU budget increases during the next multiannual financial framework; reiterates that regardless of realisable savings, the EU budget at its current overall level of 1 % of GNI is not capable of closing the financing gap deriving from additional financing needs arising from the Treaty as well as from EU targets and commitments, such as: the financing of the existing European Financial Stabilisation Mechanism and the European Stability Mechanism after 2013; the increase of research and innovation spending from currently 1.9 % of GNI to 3 % of GNI as stipulated by the EU 2020 strategy, adding up to approximately € 130 billion per year; the financial effort related to the attainment of the Millennium development goal to spend 0.7 % of GNI on development aid, i.e. around € 35 billion annually further to the current spending of 0.4 % of GNI; the resources required for the fulfilment of the emission reduction goals which the Council intends to raise from 20 % to 30 %; the necessary investments in energy networks; the essential fully-fledged and transparently calculated financing of large-scale projects adopted by the Council such as ITER and Galileo as well as the European space policy; the additional financing needs related to the accession of Croatia to the EU; the not yet quantifiable additional appropriations needed in the field of Common Foreign and Security Policy, including the European External Action Service and the European Neighbourhood Policy; demands from the Council to provide adequate funding to cover the future financing needs and emphasises the inevitable postponement or suspension of strategically important long-term EU projects and programmes if the necessary resources are not provided; __________________ 1 Letter addressed to Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission by David Cameron, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Angela Merkel, Federal Chancellor of Germany, Nicolas Sarkozy, President of the French Republic, Mark Rutte, Prime Minister of the Netherlands, and Mari Kiviniemi, Prime Minister of Finland on 17 December 2010 (the examples provided by this amendment (i.e. starting with the European Financial Stabilisation Mechanism and ending with the CSFP) should be visualised as bullet points)

Motion for a resolution Paragraph 115 115. Recalls that according to the Treaty of Lisbon ‘without prejudice to other revenue, the budget shall be financed wholly from own resources’; stresses that the way the system of own resources has evolved, gradually replacing genuine own resources by national contributions, places disproportionate emphasis on net-balances between Member States thus diluting the European common interest; emphasises the need for a reform of revenue in order to gradually re-align it with the spirit of the Treaty; notes that, in practice, this state of affairs means that the size of the EU’s common budget is dependent on the financial circumstances of the Member States that are the least well run or show the least interest in the EU;
