Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3
Motion for a resolution
Amendment
3. Regrets that the budgeting of the surplus reduces the total GNI-based own resources contribution of Member States to the financing of the 2026 budget by a commensurate amount; underlines that, at a time when financing needs remain high, in particular for the EURI debt service costs, and room for manoeuvre within the Union budget remains extremely limited, the budget should retain a sufficient level of flexibility in the last years of the current MFF to enable the Union to cope with unforeseen events; underlines that the flexibility of the Union budget is one of the key issues to be addressed in the negotiations for the multiannual financial framework 2028-2034;
3. Welcomes that the 2025 surplus reduces the GNI-based contributions of Member States to the 2026 budget and recalls that budget surpluses should primarily benefit Member States rather than be used to justify additional Union spending; reiterates that the Union budget should remain financed through Member State contributions in accordance with the Treaties and rejects the creation of new Union own resources; stresses that budgetary surpluses and extraordinary revenue should primarily be used to reduce Member States' GNI-based contributions and should not serve to finance additional Union expenditure or further budgetary centralisation;

Paragraph 4
Motion for a resolution
Amendment
4. Recalls its long-standing position that windfall gains stemming from fines and fees, or equivalent amounts thereof, should be used as supplementary revenue for the Union budget and should not lead to a corresponding decrease in GNI-based contributions;
4. Recalls that extraordinary revenue from fines and similar payments should primarily reduce Member States' GNI-based contributions and should not become a permanent source of financing for higher Union expenditure;

Paragraph 7
Motion for a resolution
Amendment
7. Reiterates its long-standing call for sustainable, predictable and resilient revenue for the Union budget pursuant to Article 310 TFEU that should match the expenditure side and the strategic priorities and identified financing needs of the Union; reaffirms Parliament’s strong commitment to the introduction of new own resources, not only for NGEU debt repayment but also to finance the Union’s enhanced policy ambitions; recalls that, without new genuine own resources, the financial burden will inevitably fall on Member States through increased GNI-based contributions; considers, therefore, that the introduction of genuine new revenue streams of at least EUR 60 billion per year is an essential condition for an ambitious Multiannual Financial Framework for the years 2028 to 2034;
7. Reiterates that the Union budget should continue to be financed primarily through Member States' contributions in accordance with the Treaties; rejects the creation of new Union own resources and recalls that any budgetary surplus should primarily reduce national contributions rather than finance additional Union competences or expenditure;
