Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7 a (new)

7 a. Notes the steady increase of interest rates for EU-issued debt; regrets the much faster pace in which interest rates of EU-issued debt have increased in comparison to the Member States’; warns that more EU-issued debt would thus be economically dangerous while also requiring Treaty changes; therefore dismisses ongoing discussions about the consideration of new EU-issued debt, especially when the repayment of the principal and the interest of the funds borrowed under NGEU is far from being finalised;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 14

14. Deplores the fact that the production chains for certain products and items entering the EU single market involve workers from third countries who do not receive a decent wage and, in some cases, live in extreme poverty; points out that importing such commodities into the EU leads to unfair competition (‘social dumping’) with goods produced in the EU where strict regulations and high standards apply; is very concerned by the inhumane living conditions of the poorest people worldwide; calls, in this regard, for the EU to live up to its promises in terms of sustainable standards and human development;deleted

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 15

15. Calls, therefore, for the establishment of a ‘fair border tax’ requiring companies importing goods into the EU to pay a levy for any workers in their global supply chain who are paid a daily wage that is insufficient to allow them to escape absolute poverty, as characterised by international organisations; underlines that any company importing into the EU single market products made by workers paid less than a fixed poverty threshold would have to pay a duty amounting to the difference between this threshold and the salary their workers receive;deleted

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16

16. Considers that the EU ‘fair border tax’ would incentivise companies operating in the EU to raise salaries in their global supply chains and thus improve living conditions for workers in third countries and drive reform in countries with poor labour standards and regulations, while ensuring that European consumers do not contribute to extreme exploitation; notes that the competitiveness of companies producing in the EU could improve under this mechanism; points out that this mechanism should comply with World Trade Organization (WTO) rules, in particular Article XX(b) for the protection of human life or health;deleted

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 17

17. Suggests the introduction of a European tax on crypto-assets, whose revenues would flow into the European budget as a new own resource; points out that the global market in crypto-assets has been growing rapidly (albeit unstably) since the 2008 crisis, with capitalisation reaching up to EUR 2 trillion in May 2021; notes that crypto-assets are progressively considered as a genuine means of payment and part of investment strategies; underlines that regulating and taxing crypto-assets at EU level is more efficient than at national level given their high mobility and cross-border dimension; stresses, in this regard, that a European tax on crypto-assets would foster the emergence of a harmonised tax framework for crypto-assets, be more consistent with the cross-border nature of the crypto-assets market, and encourage the adoption of tax standards at the global level;deleted

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 23

23. Calls, specifically, for the establishment of a gender pay gap-based own resource; underlines that, under this mechanism, a share of contributions based on gross national income (GNI) would be replaced by a new distribution key requiring Member States with a higher gender pay gap to contribute more than Member States with smaller gender pay gap, in a proportionate way;deleted

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 24

24. Calls for the establishment of a biowaste-based own resource; underlines that, under this mechanism, a share of GNI-based contributions would be replaced by a new distribution key requiring Member States recycling less biowaste to contribute more than Member States that recycle more biowaste, in a proportionate way; considers that this own resource would incentivise Member States to resort less to landfills;deleted
