Amendment 86 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 17
Paragraph 17
17. Reiterates that, despite Parliament’s demands to place the EURI over and above the ceilings, the refinancing costs are paid from within Heading 2b; notes that, in a context of rising interest rates, the line dedicated to the EURI financing costs is likely to be needed in full and needs may well exceed the budgeted amount; deplores the fact that this has a de facto impact on programmes under the same heading by constraining the Commission’s ability to propose above-financial programming reinforcements where they are needed; notes that EURI financing costs should not be taken from special instruments, which are intended to tackle unforeseen challenges, such as the consequences of the war in Ukraine and the energy crisis; reminds in this respect, that cohesion and Common Agricultural Policy cannot be the source of the financing, since this would endanger the implementation of long-term objectives;
