"I voted in favour of this report which was a purely technical report. It is a revision of the regulation to ensure that Member States deliver their contributions with no significant delay and it also clarifies interest rate rules and other technical issues. Moreover, it increases transparency and accuracy by reporting regularly on the calculation process regarding data for VAT and GNI adjustments. However, I wish to note my party’s concerns in relation to Ireland’s contribution to the EU budget. Whilst it is recognised that Ireland does contribute to the EU budget through the traditional own resources (customs duties) and there is an obligation to do so, this nonetheless does not negate our concerns with how the EU budget expenditure is financed by Member States and how moreover the EU budget is allocated each year. In addition, we have a number of concerns with the proposed financial transaction tax, environmental tax, etc., which we believe are intended to strip a Member State of its financial competencies. As Irelands is set to become a net contributor to the EU budget, these concerns are set to become more pressing."@en1
