The rapporteur, Mr CHRISTODOULOU, called for a dual approach to the rules for defining a legal basis for legislative acts with a financial impact. In the long term, a definitive solution would only be found by revising the financial provisions of the Treaty on European Union, which was the responsibility of the IGC. In the short term, the rapporteur called for a trialogue between the Council, the Commission and Parliament. As far as the substance was concerned, he proposed that the pilot or preparatory projects should aim at developing multiannual programmes and that the period of time required for the adoption of the legal basis should not exceed three financial years. As regards the indicative amount to be provided for the financing of a particular project, this should be contingent on the scope afforded by the financial perspective. Moreover, the entering of appropriations without a legal basis should be subject to rigid and clear conditions. Commissioner LIIKANEN agreed to the proposal to set up an institutional trialogue.
During the debate Mr Samland stated that Parliament should be able to exercise its budgetary powers in full. He hoped that each of the EP’s own-initiative reports would be accompanied by a financial statement. On behalf of the EPP, Mr Pronk expressed his satisfaction that a solution had been found to this quarrel. Mr Bourlanges (EPP) indicated that he would abstain as he felt that the approved text was highly ambiguous in that it did not state clearly enough that the amounts laid down in the legislative texts could not be considered to be ceilings. Finally, Mr Dell’Alba (ARE) stated that he believed the text to be a step in the right direction but had reservations about the final compromise, which, in his view, tied the EP to positions expressed by the Council, even though ‘the EP should be able to adjust the annual amounts under a financial allocation in accordance with the needs identified each year’. Commissioner Liikanen highlighted the need to agree on new rules of the game and stated that ‘if applied in good faith’ the joint declaration would certainly result in a satisfactory balance overall. He believed that the illustrative nature of the financial reference included in acts not subject to the codecision procedure should be explicit in order to ensure ‘recognition of the budgetary authority in relation to the legislative authority’.
