"Over 80 % of the income received by the European Union budget comes from contributions by the Member States, based on gross national income, which are taken directly from the respective national budgets. This means that, contrary to the requirements of the Treaties, the EU budget is not funded by genuine own resources. This leads to the logic of the ‘juste retour’ and the undesirable distinction between net contributors and recipients. The new challenges and commitments of the EU in terms of combating the crisis and fulfilling the Europe 2020 strategy led the Commission on 29 June 2011, when it presented its proposals for the new multiannual financial framework (MFF) 2014-2020, to include a set of proposals on the reform of the EU’s own resources system, which contemplates abolishing the VAT own resource in its current form and replacing it with an EU VAT resource. I voted in favour of the report by Jean-Luc Dehaene because I consider that the new EU VAT resource, being more transparent, stable and reliable, is a step forward in the reform of the EU’s resources and a way to lower the contribution of each Member State."@en1
