Draft opinion
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. Reiterates that, in order to allow the EU to play an active role in the world, sufficient funds need to be provided in the EU budget; underlines that the allocation of additional administrative resources for the establishment of the European External Action Service (EEAS) must follow clear political priorities, such as conflict prevention, and be reflected in an appropriate increase of the operational funding for EU external action; continues to be seriously concerned in this context by the sharp and persisting discrepancy between the very low budgetary margin available under Heading IV and the pressing need for action and engagement by the EU in the world, not least in the face of major natural calamities and political and humanitarian crises;
