Members of the European Parliament are deeply dissatisfied with the proposal for the seven -year budget – a multi -year budget structure (MSC), presented by the European Commission on Wednesday, and threatened not to even start negotiations on the document.
The level of information provided by the commissar on the budget movement of Seraphin when informing members of the Parliament by the Budget Committee of Parliament (BUDG) on Wednesday was recognized as an unsatisfactory majority. “The President of the Commission of Ursula von der Leyen gives a press conference and gives the press more than you in the USA,” complained the Belgian member of the parliamentation Johann Van Obertwald, the chairman of the commission.
Some of his colleagues emphasized the absence of numerical data, official documents and explanatory materials from the commission to prepare discussion with the commissioner.
Commissioner Serafin, who recognized this dissatisfaction, said that he left the meeting of the committee earlier in order to attend parliament and submit an offer there, “in recognition of the role (parliament).”
Meps also criticized the content of the proposal, amounting to almost 2 trillion euros, or 1.26% of the EU gross national income.
“Of course, this is not a“ historical budget ”, as the European Commission is trying to present. It is at the same level as the EU budget over the past seven years, ”said the European People’s Party, when the European People’s Party said Siegfried Muriesan, one of the PCP in parliament.
“The committee’s attempt to convince us that this budget is significantly increasing is misleading. The increase comes only to adapt to inflation and occurs only because we must extinguish the next generation of the EU, ”he said, referring to the extraordinary financing lines.
Like many of his colleagues, Moussan also believes that the basic requirements of the parliament were ignored. One of the most controversial moments concerns such “national and regional partnerships” that will pay EU funds. “This proposal is an attempt to reconsider the EU,” he said to the commissar Serafin and confirmed at the press conference.
This opposition to the national plans was repeated in a statement by the leaders of such centers of most parliaments, socialists and democrats, to update Europe and Greens/Eype. They believe that national plans will give more power to the member states to deal directly with the commission, bypassing the role of parliament.
“The European parliament will not accept any reduction in parliamentary supervision and legal democratic control and EU costs,” the statement said.
Another problematic problem is the merger of coated and agricultural funds, which most members of European economy would like to finance at the expense of a separate budget line and legal basis.
The proposal for the “same resources” – taxes levied at the EU level had the best reception and should bring 58.5 billion euros per year, according to the commission. Many members of Europeanism have approved the idea of increasing income, imposing duties on tobacco products and tax companies with a net annual turnover of at least 100 million euros.
The approval of deputies requires approval by the regulatory body of the European Parliament in addition to the unanimous consensus of the EU member states: therefore, most members of European buildings should approve the final text to get into force.
At this stage, the parliament may also refuse to participate in the negotiations, the speakers threatened. Meps may approve the resolution with a request of the commission to withdraw its proposal and submit a new basis for negotiations.
But this would be the last decision, since the participant of Karl Tavawares said Euronews from socialists and democrats. “We want to put pressure and work with the committee to find a compromise accepted by everyone.”
