Amendment 33 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Regrets the Council’s position on the DB, which cuts EUR 1,64 billion in commitment appropriations and EUR 530 million in payment appropriations for the MFF headings compared to the Commission’s proposal; considers that the cuts proposed by the Council are not driven by an objective assessment of either implementation trends or absorption capacities and run counter to core shared policy priorities; considers that the Council should not target programmes that benefit from the adjustment provided for in Article 5 of the MFF regulation for “rebalancing and stabilisation”, since that would contradict the objective of that MFF provision, which was to strengthen specific political priorities; recalls in particular that Article 5 of the MFF regulation does not provide “top ups”, as suggested by the Council; concludes that the Council’s position is far from Parliament’s expectations; decides therefore, as a general rule, to restore appropriations on lines cut by the Council to the level of the DB, for both operational and administrative expenditure, and to take the DB as the starting point for Parliament’s position; notes, however, that even with ambitious funding, the available funds needs prioritisation among the 2023 budget expenditures;
