The European Parliament wants a firm commitment that it will be involved in talks on the revision of the EU budget as well as an improved mechanism to come up with supplementary funds should the need arise, i.e. a new, better version of the so-called " flexibility instrument "
Parlamentam nav pieņemams Eiropadomes kopējā nostājā noteiktais finansējuma apjoms, jo tas nenodrošina budžetu, kas veicinās labklājību, konkurētspēju un solidaritātes principa ievērošanu.
