| D. whereas, as a result of these adjustments, additional GNI contributions of EUR 4 364,9 million compared to Draft amending budget No 1/2026 are requested to meet the payment needs; | D. whereas, as a result of these adjustments, additional GNI contributions of EUR 4 364,9 million compared to Draft amending budget No 1/2026 are requested to meet the payment needs; whereas such an approach entails the risk of prioritising the least demanding policy option, when the preferred approach would be to place greater emphasis on eliminating unnecessary expenditure or on recovering revenue lost as a result of documented and identified fraud, in particular customs fraud and VAT fraud; |

Paragraph 3 a (new)
| Motion for a resolution | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 3a. Considers that the proposed reinforcement of the agricultural reserve remains insufficient in view of the severe economic pressures and recurrent crises faced by European farmers, in particular the extreme draught and adverse weather conditions and the sharp increase in fertiliser costs and other agricultural input costs; calls for a further increase in the resources available to support the agricultural sector and farmers affected by these rising production costs; considers that such additional support should not result in higher GNI-based contributions from Member States and calls on the Commission to identify and redeploy appropriations currently allocated to the financing of non-governmental organisations towards direct support for European farmers, giving priority to agricultural production and food security; |

| 5. Takes note of the new type of financial, budgetary and legal management needed for the Ukraine Support Loan, requiring additional expertise for its implementation by the Commission, with a total of 53 establishment plan posts, of which 41 posts over and above stable staffing, in line with the Legislative, Financial and Digital Statement as annexed to the Commission’s proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council implementing enhanced cooperation on the establishment of the Ukraine Support Loan for 2026 and 20277 ; takes note of the estimated budgetary impact of EUR 3,2 million euros in heading 7 based on a six-months presence in 2026; notes with concern that the Commission’s self-imposed stable staffing principle has proven counterproductive to meeting operational requirements; recalls that the Parliament supported reinforcing heading 7 during the 2023 MFF revision; notes the continuous efforts made by the institutions to redeploy staff and find additional efficiency gains but acknowledges the limits of this approach over the years; stresses the inevitability of reinforcing the amount of staff when necessary in order for the institutions to fulfil their mandates and in this context recalls Parliament’s position that new task should be covered by additional resources; | 5. Rejects the new type of financial, budgetary and legal management needed for the Ukraine Support Loan, requiring additional expertise for its implementation by the Commission, with a total of 53 establishment plan posts, of which 41 posts over and above stable staffing, in line with the Legislative, Financial and Digital Statement as annexed to the Commission’s proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council implementing enhanced cooperation on the establishment of the Ukraine Support Loan for 2026 and 20277 ; rejects the estimated budgetary impact of EUR 3,2 million euros in heading 7 based on a six-months presence in 2026; |

| 6. Takes note, in addition, of the additional need for EUR 1 million in support expenditure under sub-heading 2b for the borrowing and debt management activities related to the Ukraine Support Loan, which will be covered under the EU’s unified funding approach; recalls that these costs are an additional burden in a context of extremely scarce resources; reminds that the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) revision created the Ukraine Support Loan Instrument for the sole purpose of financing the Ukraine Support Loan debt service costs; insists on the need for the Commission to provide reliable, timely and accurate information on borrowing costs as well as on the aggregation of liabilities to the headroom contingent on borrowing and lending operations; | 6.
