54 a. Emphasises that EU funds must never be misused for terrorist purposes. Requests therefore that the joint text on the draft general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2025, approved by the Conciliation Committee under the budgetary procedure, includes the following joint statement by the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on terrorism financing: “The three institutions agree that EU funds must never be misused for terrorist purposes. Therefore, where the Commission becomes aware that an entity receiving EU funding employs an individual who has been involved in terrorist acts during the term of the current Multiannual Financial Framework, the Commission shall suspend the funding of that entity without undue delay. Entities that employ or have employed more than five individuals who have been involved in terrorist acts during the term of the current Multiannual Financial Framework shall not be eligible for EU funding. Entities that provide financial support to individuals for the reason that these individuals committed or attempted to commit a terrorist act, or are related to someone who committed or attempted to commit a terrorist act, shall not be eligible for EU funding. This restriction shall also apply to the EU funding of third parties that directly or indirectly contribute to the financing of such entities.”
