Paragraph 48
Paragraph 48
48. Underlines that the ‘health check’ of EU spending cannot provide for a reduction in the level of EU ambition or a sectoralisation of EU policies and programmes, nor should it lead to a replacement of grants by financial instruments with a view to generating some savings, as the great majority of actions supported by the EU budget are not suitable to be funded by the latter; is of the opinion that the 'health check' should rather lead to identifying ways in which the implementation of EU spending programmes could be improved;
