Motion for a resolutionAmendment
42. Calls for an 18-month extension of mature RRF projects through an amendment of the RRF Regulation by co-decision, if needed; emphasises that the envisaged extension of projects will be conducted by the Commission based on objective, clear and fair benchmarks; welcomes the possibility of establishing a targeted and performance-based prioritisation and transfer system after the 2026 deadline in order to allow for the finalisation of ongoing projects through other funding schemes, including the European Investment Fund and a possible new European competitiveness fund; urges the Commission to present a strategy to address the huge demand for public investment beyond 2026 without compromising budgetary resources in other critical areas;42.

Paragraph 44

Motion for a resolutionAmendment
44. Is concerned that some Member States might choose to forego parts of the amounts or entire amounts associated with their last payment request, thus avoiding the fulfilment of the last milestones and targets;44. Is concerned that some Member States might choose to forego parts of the amounts or entire amounts associated with their last payment request, thus avoiding the fulfilment of the last milestones and targets, once again demonstrating the evident weaknesses in the architecture of the RRF, whose shortcomings are particularly serious, given that it is a historic fund worth several hundred billion euro, financed through borrowing that will indebt us for over 30 years, and for which certain irresponsible bodies are now calling for the creation of own resources that would burden households and businesses in the Union, which this fund was initially intended to support;

Motion for a resolution

Paragraph 45 a (new)

Motion for a resolutionAmendment
45a. Deplores the lack of real-time monitoring and transparency for citizens regarding the use of RRF funds; considers that, for historic funds of such magnitude, which will lead to massive debts that will burden the Union’s budget for decades, this level of transparency should be an absolute minimum, and that merely listing the main final beneficiaries is completely insufficient to ensure transparency in the use of public money;

Paragraph 59

Motion for a resolutionAmendment
59. Regrets the fact that Parliament has no role in the design of NRRPs and is not consulted on payment requests; criticises furthermore the fact that Parliament has not been provided with a clear and traceable overview of the implementation status of projects and payments; expects to be informed about the context of NRRP revisions in order to make its own assessment of the revisions and to have an enhanced role in possible future instruments based on the RRF experience;59. Recalls the fact that Parliament’s role is laid down in Articles 25 and 26 of the RRF Regulation; reiterates that, based on this regulation, Parliament has no role in the design of NRRPs and is not consulted on payment requests; emphasises, in this regard, that Parliament must always act within the remit of its competences;

Paragraph 82

Motion for a resolutionAmendment
82. Stresses that any possible future budgetary decisions on EU borrowing should respect the unity of the budget and Parliament’s role as part of the budgetary authority; highlights the risks of cost overruns for the repayment of debt, resulting inter alia from volatile interest rates; deems it important to ensure from the outset that sufficient funding is available to cover these costs without presenting a detriment to other programmes or political priorities;82. Stresses that the NGEU borrowing did not respect the unity of the budget and Parliament’s role as part of the budgetary authority; underlines, furthermore, that any possible future budgetary decisions on EU borrowing would put severe pressure not just on the EU budget but also on European taxpayers, and highlights the risks of cost overruns for the repayment of debt, resulting inter alia from volatile interest rates; deems it important to ensure from the outset that sufficient funding is available to cover these costs without presenting a detriment to other programmes or political priorities, which was manifestly not the case in this context and constitutes an extremely serious precedent, likely to have lasting negative consequences for the Union’s budget and for future generations;
