lpv:translated text	"The purpose of this proposal is to update the implementing regulation for the EU’s own resources following the Council Decision of 29 February 2000, which increased the contribution of the ‘GNP resource’ to the financing of the Community budget and codified the so-called ‘British cheque’ with adjustments in its financing for the main net contributors – Germany, Sweden, Austria and the Netherlands – with a consequent increase in the contributions from the remaining Member States, including Portugal, which is unacceptable. We always advocate that imbalances in terms of net transfers cannot be resolved on the income side of the equation and that the principle of ‘ ’ should not be regarded as sacrosanct. National contributions to Community financing should, at the very least, be equivalent to the share of each country in the Community GNP, or else there should be a harmonisation of effort per inhabitant in the Member States for this financing. The central issue in the report is the inclusion of a revision clause for a general review of the system, with a view to introducing European taxes to replace the present system of national contributions, before the approval of the Financial Perspectives. Indeed, this idea is supported in the Commission proposal. This aim of gradually giving the EU fiscal sovereignty would not only reinforce, in a non-explicit way, the federal approach to European integration, it would also have an impact on national fiscal policies and on the tax burden of taxpayers, while not contributing to the equity of budget financing."@en1
