"We are voting against Amendment No 6 but for Mrs Haug’s report as a whole because we think that the way in which the EU’s own resources are constructed ought to be reformed. We agree that we ought to have a more direct link between the European Union and its citizens when it comes to financing the EU’s budget and that we ought to be increasing the Union’s economic independence step by step.
In view of the lack of confidence in the European Union, as evidenced by, among other things, the low turnout at the election, and in view of the importance of preserving the EU’s character as a union both of citizens and of Member States, we consider that it would be wrong to aim now for a financially autonomous EU or one which is totally independent of contributions from the Member States. Nor do we consider that the financing of the EU should lead to an increased burden for tax payers."@en1
