Parliament's resolution sets its position on the Council's position on the draft 2027 general budget. It restores Council cuts across the multiannual financial framework (MFF) headings and adds funding above the draft budget for many programmes. It restores the EUR 180 million cut to the European Union Recovery Instrument (EURI) line and isolates liquidity management costs in new budget lines for the EURI and the Ukraine Support Loan. It calls for full mobilisation of the Ukraine Support Loan Instrument for EUR 1 115 000 000 and moves administrative support for the loan to the same title as operational spending. It reinforces programmes under Headings 1 to 7, adopts a package of pilot projects and preparatory actions, and reinforces payments on lines where commitments are amended. For Section I, it raises the optional pension scheme line by EUR 10 028 000 after the Voluntary Pension Fund's assets ran out. For Sections IV-X, it increases appropriations and staff for several institutions. It also creates a new revenue line for European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) seizures and insists revenue nomenclature follow Article 311 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU).
