"I voted for the European Parliament resolution on the multiannual financial framework and own resources. I voted for paragraph 3, which states that Parliament insists that the EU budget should strike an appropriate balance between own resources and expenditure as required by the Treaty. The next multiannual financial framework (MFF) cannot be adopted without political agreement on reform of the own resources system, putting an end to existing rebates and the other correction mechanisms and leading to greater transparency, fairness and sustainability. We welcome the legislative proposals drafted by the Commission on 29 June 2011 on the reform of the own resources system, including the proposal on a financial transaction tax (FTT) and a new EU VAT as own resources. These measures are aimed at reducing the share of Member States’ GDP-based contributions to the EU budget to 40% by 2020, thereby contributing to the consolidation efforts made by Member States. I voted against Amendment 4, which removes from the text the section which insists on the principle of unity as part of the EU budget, stressing that all EU policies and programmes should be included in the MFF with appropriate funding, thereby contributing to transparency, predictability and accountability."@en1
