Paragraph 27 a (new)
Paragraph 27 a (new)
27 a. Highlights that new own resources are a key enabler for the Union to implement its policy priorities; stresses that the introduction of such new own resources would assure sustainable financing of the EU budget on a long- term basis in order to avoid new EU priorities being financed to the detriment of existing EU programmes and policies, thus avoiding cuts to Union programmes in the future that would undermine the very purpose of long-term planning; underlines that, in compliance with the principle of universality of revenues, new own resources constitute general income to the EU budget; believes that introducing new own resources as agreed in the legally binding Inter Institutional Agreement of 16 December 2020 would achieve lasting benefits, not only in the delivery of Union policies, but also in ensuring the Union’s standing as a credible and smart debt issuer; calls, therefore, on the Member States to move as swiftly as possible and speed up the negotiations of the first basket of the so called new generation of EU Own resources based on the EU Emissions Trading System, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism and Pillar I of the OECD presented by the Commission on 22nd December 2021; urges the Council to approve the first basket of own resources before the end of 2022;
