  Siegfried Mureşan, on behalf of the PPE Group. – Mr President, I should like to welcome Commissioner Hahn back to the European Parliament. The own resources of the European Union are a very important topic. The own resources allow us future stable and predictable financing of the European Union so that in the future we can avoid politically divisive negotiations like the four-day, four-night Council meeting of July 2020.

The own resources of the European Union also allow us to establish a comprehensive budget in the future: a robust budget, which allows us to properly finance all the priorities that the citizens of the European Union expect us to deliver. The own resources are an important topic but they are also an urgent topic, because the whole EUR 750 billion post-corona package to help people, to help enterprises, to help regions affected by the virus, depends on the quick ratification of the own resources decision by all national parliaments.

Here in the European Parliament we have done our job. We have given our opinion on own resources quickly. We have negotiated the Recovery and Resilience Facility and the multiannual financial framework quickly and we have set up our internal structures here in Parliament for the implementation of the Recovery and Resilience Facility. This is why it is of the utmost importance that all national parliaments ratify, by the end of April, the own resources decision so that help for people affected by the virus is coming.

Finally, I would like to ask all pro-European groups to make sure that their national parliaments, their parties in the national parliaments, do their utmost to ratify the own resources decision quickly.
