It welcomes new efforts for new own resources, supports Bulgaria's euro adoption, and questions certain expenditure adjustments.

Committee position. The Committee on Budgets proposes that Parliament approve the Council's position on Draft Amending Budget No 2/2025.

Key points

  1. Approves the Council's position on Draft Amending Budget No 2/2025.
  2. Notes the overall increased need for GNI contributions of 4.3 billion EUR, changing the uniform GNI contribution rate from 0.527% to 0.547%.
  3. Stresses that fixed reductions of the GNI-based contribution for five member states amount to about 9.2 billion EUR gross and are inflation-driven, increasing the burden on other member states.
  4. Welcomes Commission efforts for new own resources and urges rapid adoption, stressing they are crucial for repaying NextGenerationEU loans and covering increased needs.
  5. Reiterates that extraordinary revenues from fines and penalties should be used as supplementary income, not lead to lower GNI contributions.
  6. Calls for serious consideration of flexibility in the next multiannual financial framework, with the flexibility instrument funded by additional sources including annual surplus, fines, and carry-overs.
  7. Welcomes the increase in payment appropriations for the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development, indicating faster implementation of CAP strategic plans.
  8. Questions why simplifying the CBAM regulation would increase needs by 8 million EUR instead of reducing them, and criticizes compensating new needs by cutting customs control equipment funds.
  9. Highlights and welcomes changes to the establishment plan of the Anti-Money Laundering Authority to enable timely and effective task performance.
  10. Welcomes Bulgaria's progress towards adopting the euro and supports using additional funds for communication activities, using the flexibility instrument.
