5. Recalls that, due to the intransigent position of the Council in the negotiations, the overall level of payments set in the 2013 budget is EUR 5 billion lower than the Commission’s estimates for payment needs in the draft budget; is extremely worried about the level of payments in the 2013 budget and believes that this level of appropriations will be insufficient to cover actual payment needs in 2013; is particularly concerned by the payments' margin in the 2013 budget that amounts to 11,2 billion while the carry over alone of additional payment needs from 2012 is at the level of around 19 billion;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 11
Paragraph 11
11. Is concerned about the high level of unused appropriations (RALs) accumulated at the end of the year 2012; proposes to organise once againthat, despite a level of payment implementation of 99% at the end of 2012 , the stock of outstanding commitments (RALs) has now reached the unprecedented level of 217,3 billion; considers that this year inter-institutional meetings on payments should closely examine the difference between commitment and payment appropriations, to establish a dialogue with the Commission in order to fully clarify the composition of RAL; insists that the Council refrain from deciding a priori the level of payments, without taking account of actual needs and legal obligations; notes further that accruing RAL actually undermines a transparent EU budget in which the relation between commitments and payments in any specific budgetary year is clearly visible;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 13
Paragraph 13
13. Is of the opinion that the 2013 budget negotiations have demonstrated once more that the system of financing the EU budget – with national contributions amounting to more than 75 % of EU revenue – is today on its last legcompletely outdated; considers that the current system puts the EU budget in a position of total dependency from national treasuries, which can be particularly detrimental at a time of national budgetary constrains; urges that the structure of Union revenue be reformed byincluding the introducingtion of new and genuine own resources, like the financial transaction tax and the new EU VAT, and recalls its support to the Commission proposal for reforming the own resources system;
