Amendment 97 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10
Paragraph 10
10. Recalls, further, that, despite Parliament’s demands that the European Union Recovery Instrument (EURI) be placed over and above the ceilings, the refinancing costs are repaid from within the MFF ceilings, exerting further pressure on the MFF, especially in a context of rising interest rates; points, in that regard to the Amending Letter for the 2023 Budget, which increases appropriations on the EURI line by EUR 450 million by using two-thirds of available resources under the Single Margin Instrument, thereby curtailing the budget's ability to respond to emerging needs;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 11
Paragraph 11
11. Observes the continuing demand for the EU budget to serve as a guarantee for additional macro-financial assistance (MFA); notes, however,underlines that, in the higher risksevent of default andor the large amount at stake entailwithdrawal of national guarantees, the EU budget ultimately underwrites all MFA loans and therefore significant contingent liabilities;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16 a (new)
Paragraph 16 a (new)
16 a. Considers that, while the new MFF structure with headings grouping spending by policy cluster is simpler and facilitates budgetary management within the Commission, the nomenclature - with a reduced number of budget lines and sometimes a single line covering a very large spending programme as is the case for the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund and the Border Management and Visa Instrument - lacks the necessary granularity transparency and limits significantly proper oversight and decisions by the budgetary authority;
Amendment 220 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 26
Paragraph 26
26. Recalls that payment appropriations flow directly from commitments and recalls, therefore, that any increase in the ceilings for commitments per heading will have to be accompanied by a corresponding increase in the ceiling for payments for the same or subsequent years; draws attention to the risk of an increasingly high payments backlog due to the worrying delays in programme implementation, particularly under shared management; calls on the Commission to conduct a risk analysis of payments in the context of the review and to make the necessary proposals in the revision while protecting the policies, their objectives and the preallocated national envelopes, with a view to avoiding a payment crisis that would severely affect beneficiaries of the EU budget; warns, further, about the increasing use of external assigned revenue as a substitute for appropriations under the MFF and the very acute risk that this may pose in honouring payments when the revenue is not guaranteed;
