Amendment 37 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16
Paragraph 16
16. Regrets, however, the reductions in appropriations for large infrastructure projectsEgnos and Galileo, Horizon 2020 and COSME, as well as the slower progression of CEF Transport owing to the redeployment to EFSI; recalls that the Commission's initial proposal on EFSI would have resulted in a cut of EUR 170 million for Horizon 2020 in 2016 as compared to 2015, thus giving a contradictory signal on a programme widely recognised as a flagship priority under the current MFF; commits to seeking to further compensate for the proposed decreases in these programmes by means of reinforcements during the budgetary procedure through the use of the EUR-200- million margin still available below the ceiling for heading 1a;

Deplores that the new Director- General of ITER is going to present a revised schedule and payment plan for the project with a six month delay in November 2015 since this will be too late for the budgetary authority to take sufficient account of the new information in the annual budget procedure for 2016; stresses that, with a view to ensure financial soundness and efficiency of spending, Parliament will reserve for itself the right to put part of the appropriations for ITER into a reserve until the new facts and figures have been thoroughly assessed;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 33
Paragraph 33
33. Believes that external financing instruments provide tools to address, in a multifaceted manner and alongside their respective objectives, the root causes of those internal security and migration challenges which are at the core of next year's budget, with particular reference to the southern and eastern borders of the Union and more generally to conflict- stricken areas; points, in particular, to the Development Cooperation Instrument and the European Neighbourhood Instrument but also to policies undergoing more moderate increases such as humanitarian aid, the Instrument contributing to Stability and Peace, Common Foreign and Security Policy and the European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights; calls on the Commission tostresses that the current pressing challenges require a reorientation of the role of the EU budget in the European development policy before the start of the new programming period and the integration of the European Development Fund in 2021; calls on the Commission to use the 2016 budgetary procedure to launch the reorientation of the European Neighbourhood Policy and humanitarian aid by clearly identifying areas which can help in coping with those topical challenges and where potential reinforcements can be efficiently absorbed;
