"The multiannual financial framework defines the EU budget for the 2014-2020 period. In June 2011 the European Commission presented a proposal of EUR 1 083 billion in expenditure, corresponding to 1.11 % of European gross domestic product and an increase of 5 % in relation to the current programming period (2007-2013). In order to reduce the contribution by Member States to the EU budget to 40 %, the European Commission has presented the possibility of creating own resources which are enshrined in the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. In this respect, I consider the introduction of the Financial Transaction Tax and the modernisation of VAT to be appropriate, with the current European resource of part of the national VAT collected by Member States being abandoned. I support the creation of these own resources provided that businesses and households do not have to pay more for the goods and services that they purchase. I also support the statement made by the President of the European Commission that this is not about increasing the EU budget, but about giving it a more solid basis and reducing the direct contributions of Member States."@en1
