Motion for a resolution

Paragraph -1

Motion for a resolution	Amendment
	– 1. Expresses deep concern at the rising cost of living, in particular the increase in fuel and energy prices and the high prices of essential goods, as well as their significant impact on the lives of workers, pensioners and their families, in a context where the profits of large corporate groups continue to increase and, in several sectors, are reaching exceptionally high levels; considers that the European Union budget for 2027 should contribute to addressing this situation by protecting living standards and purchasing power and supporting measures aimed at curbing prices and mitigating the social and economic consequences of the rising cost of living;

Paragraph 1 b (new)

Motion for a resolution	Amendment
	1b. Underlines that the salaries and benefits of Commissioners, Members and the President of the Council are very generous; is concerned that such disproportionately high salaries completely alienate those people from everyday lives, needs and struggles; considers, therefore, that allocating more reasonable salaries and benefits would increase the chance of the 2027 budget proposals being more in line with the needs of working people;

Calls on the Commission to act on the recommendation made by the Court of Auditors (the 'Court') in Special Report 22/2020 which advises the Commission to increase the use of cross-cutting evaluations of agencies in the context of the Commission’s fitness checks of different policy areas; insists, moreover, that evaluation results should be used to identify synergies and possible changes, including, where appropriate, the merging of agencies, in order to improve efficiency and eliminate redundancies; highlights that, where relevant, such evaluations should also explore ways to enhance governance structures while ensuring agencies remain effective.
