Recital 11
(11) The retention, by way of collection costs, of 20 % of the amounts collected by the Member States for traditional Own Resources constitutes a high share of Own Resources not being made available to the Union Budget. The collection costs retained by Member States from the traditional Own Resources should be restored from 20% to the original level of 10% to better align financial supportabolished, and the actual costs of, and needs for, customs equipment, staff and information with the actual costs and needsshould be met directly out of the Union Budget.

Recital 13
Recital 13
(13) The integration of the European Development Fund into the EU budget and the creation of new budget instruments to stabilise the cycle and support reforms in the euro area will need to be accompanied by an increase in the ceilings established in the Own Resources decision. A sufficient margin between the payments and the own resources ceiling is necessary to ensure that the Union is able - under any circumstances - to fulfil its financial obligations, even in times of economic downturns. The Own Resources ceiling should therefore be increased to a level of 1,29 .33% of the sum of the Member States’ Gross National Income at market prices for appropriations for payments and of 1,35 .41% for the appropriations for commitments.
