Recital 6
(6) In order to finance the costs of principal and interest of the repayments of the European Recovery Instrument, to better align the Union's financing instruments with its policy priorities, to better reflect the Union's budget role for the functioning of thea fairer Single Market, to better support the objectives of Union policies, such as the Green Deal and digital transformation, and to reduce Member States' Gross National Income- based contributions to the Union's annual budget, it is necessary to introduce new categories of Own Resources based on the Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base, the national revenue stemming from the European Union Emissions Trading System and, a national contribution calculated on the basis of non-recycled plastic packaging waste. Moreover, new Own Resources based on a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, a digital service tax, a Financial Transaction Tax, implemented according to a scheme agreed by all Member States, a European Net Wealth Tax, a Single Market Levy and the revenues from the European Central Bank profits should be introduced to this end as soon as the underlying legal conditions are in place.

(6a) The introduction of a basket of new genuine own resources will reduce Member States' Gross National Income- based contributions to the Union's annual budget, ending the "zero sum game" and "juste retour" routines and will make the EU budget more efficient, effective and transparent, because it addresses areas that are a priority for the EU and where the money collected and spent at EU level create more and better public goods, compared to the public funds spending at national level.
