Proposal for a directive
Recital 24 b (new)
Recital 24 b (new)
(24 b) This Directive does not address the management of revenue from FTT. However, having regard to the 2011 Commission legislative proposals on the reform of the EU own resources system, at least part of the revenue from FTT can be accrued to the EU budget as a genuine own resource, if the Member States participating in the implementation of this Council Directive so decide. The use of FTT revenue as EU own resource will reduce proportionally the national GNI contributions to the EU budget of all participating Member States - irrespective of their individual FTT contributions to the EU budget - and can therefore reduce the burden on national treasuries.
