(23) The overall financial envelope of the Fund should, in principle, be commensurate to amounts corresponding to 25% of the expected revenuethe additional burden on the vulnerable households and traffic users from the inclusion of buildings and road transport into the scope of Directive 2003/87/EC in the period 2026-2032. Pursuant to Council Decision (EU, Euratom) 2020/205341, Member States should make those revenues available to the Union budget as own resourcesThe EU budget should cover half of the EUR 144 billion overall envelope, corresponding to EUR 72 billion. Following the developments of the carbon price and other relevant parameters, and before the final adoption of this legislative act, the Commission should update their assessment whether the overall financial envelope of the Fund still corresponds to 25% of the expected revenue deriving from the new ETS. Pursuant to Council Decision (EU, Euratom) 2020/205341, Member States should make those revenues available to the Union budget as own resources. The revenue accruing to the Union budget is to respect the principle of universality in accordance with Article 7 of Decision (EU, Euratom) 2020/2053. Member States are to finance 50% of the total costs of their Plan themselves. For this purpose, as well as for investment and measures to accelerate and alleviate the required transition for citizens negatively affected, Member States should inter alia use their expected revenues from emissions trading for buildings and road transport under Directive 2003/87/EC for that purpose. The financing of the Fund should not come at the expense of other Union programmes and policies. _________________ 41 Council Decision (EU, Euratom) 2020/2053 of 14 December 2020 on the system of own resources of the European Union and repealing Decision 2014/335/EU, Euratom (OJ L 424, 15.12.2020, p. 1).
