Draft opinion
Paragraph 8
Paragraph 8
8. Welcomes the fact that the Commission’s proposed new own resources categories are linked to policies with a high European added value, with the aim not of increasing the overall tax burden for citizens, but of reducing the burden on national treasuries and generating an awareness, among citizens, of an autonomous EU budget which demonstrates the added value of European integration; regrets, however, the lack of ambition of the proposals, which are such that the intended goals cannot be achieved.
