"My colleagues and I will be voting against this report. There are certain positives in this report and those relate to the fact that political (financial) bargaining should be refrained from regarding Member State contributions. There is a call to ensure that Member States pay 3/12th of GNI and VAT resources in the first half of the year to deal with the payment backlog of the previous year; this is directed towards the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund and in particular the European Structural and Investment Funds. To boost the speed and efficiency of payments there is a strong point made to eliminate political interference. However, we do need this in order to question what is going on relating to GNI and VAT resources being submitted by Member States. The onus of management includes accounting procedures and practices indicating a uniformed approach to accounting and submitting of contributions. There is no way we can support such measures that take away the rights of our own British regulatory boards and financial ombudsman offices. There is also a call on the Commission to alter its proposal so that it fits in with Article 293(2) of the TFEU and Article 106(a) of the Euratom Treaty."@en1
