Tabled by Alexander Jungbluth, Stanisław Tyszka

2. Calls for the 2028-2034 MFF to be Removed: set at 1.27 % of EU gross national income (GNI), while the NGEU debt servicing – equivalent to an additional 0.11 % of EU GNI – should be excluded from the 1.27 % and accounted for over and above the ceilings; reiterates that the next MFF must be more ambitious in size, as the current level of financing does not match the Union’s political ambitions, and must be protected from inflationary shocks; stresses that this level constitutes the minimum necessary to enable the Union to deliver on its Treaty commitments, respond to citizens’ expectations, and address major challenges, including the return of large-scale warfare in the EU’s neighbourhood, evolving security threats, a highly challenging economic and social backdrop, a competitiveness gap and the worsening climate and biodiversity crises; Added: implemented with strict budgetary discipline and without any automatic increase in the own resources ceilings, and to ensure that additional spending is carried out only if it delivers clear European added value and does not place any permanent burden on the national budgets;
