Paragraph 14 a (new)
| Joint motion for a resolution | Amendment |
| 14a. Expresses its strong opposition to the special European Council’s support to the von der Leyen ‘ReArm Europe’ plan and the militarisation of the EU, in particular on the use of cohesion funds for military spending; reiterates that European cohesion funds, and derogations from the stability and growth pact, must be used to allow investments in schools, healthcare, housing, innovation and research, digitalisation and the fight against climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss, together with job creation; denounces the double standards of this neoliberal Europe, which applies flexibility on fiscal rules on military spending while continuing to impose austerity and neoliberal criteria on social and economic policies; strongly deplores the decision to use Article 122 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union to approve the rearmament plan without the vote and the democratic control and scrutiny of Parliament; |

Paragraph 25 a (new)
| Joint motion for a resolution | Amendment |
| 25a. Considers that the widespread freezing of the funds and economic resources belonging to Russia’s political and economic elites who support and benefit from the Russian authoritarian regime is key to eroding support for the Russian invasion of Ukraine and ramping up pressure on the Kremlin; calls on the Commission to make a proposal to considerably extend the list of persons and entities affected by the EU sanctions on assets, which currently consists of 1 879 persons and 507 entities; indicates that if these sanctions were to be applied to the persons owning more than EUR 10 million in assets, about 20 000 persons would fall within their scope; |
