Draft opinion
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Calls for a genuine revision of the MFF, encompassing the financial means made available under the current framework; notes the deployment of the special and flexibility tools in order to respond to the exceptional and unforeseen circumstances the Union is facing; calls for even greater flexibility in order to deal adequately with such circumstances; stresses, however, that in tackling new challenges the EU must not prejudice the allocation of resources for cohesion purposes; underlines that any increase of flexibility should go hand in hand with a stronger parliamentary control; expresses its deep concern for the increased recourse to ad hoc financial instruments in the field of external action, since they undermine, as currently arranged, the unity of the EU budget and the community method; stresses, therefore, the need to fully involve the European Parliament in the adoption, management and control of these instruments and to allocate, during the revision of the MFF, more resources in the relevant headings in order to enable the EU to provide a more structured response to the current humanitarian crisis and, at the same time, to preserve and guarantee the prerogatives of the European Parliament as co-legislator;

Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Considers it necessary to reform the system of financing of the MFF, particularly through the creation of new and genuine own resources, e.g. the already by the Commission proposed financial transaction tax (FTT); urges the Council to commit to reflecting on this issue, without prejudice to the final report from the High-Level Group on Own Resources; also urges the Council to reflect on the establishment of a fiscal capacity within the eurozone in order to assist Member States in the implementation of agreed structural reformscreasing their public investment; underlines that any new instrument should be placed to ensure the needed parliamentary control and transparency within the EU budget, but above the ceilings of the MFF, and financed from real own resources;
