§ 46
First part	‘Recalls its resolution adopted on 18 January 2024 acknowledging the role of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), which is providing shelter currently for over one million internally displaced persons and is the largest platform for providing humanitarian assistance to the population of the Gaza Strip, where the whole population faces deteriorating humanitarian conditions including shortages of shelter, clean water, food and medical assistance; reiterates, therefore, the importance of continued and predictable EU funding; welcomes the fact, that the UN launched an investigation without delay, following the serious allegations regarding individuals that were part of the UNRWA staff purportedly involved in the terrorist attacks against Israel of 7 October, and the information provided and prompt actions taken by the agency, notably to immediately terminate the existing contracts; notes the Commission’s call for an external audit reviewing thereby the pillar assessment of the UN control systems, agreed by UNRWA; supports the control, monitoring and scrutiny systems implemented by the Commission reminding that the use of EU funds by beneficiaries must respect EU rules and safeguards and international law;’
Second part	‘welcomes, in this regards, that the Commission’s review of EU aid to Palestine concluded that the controls and existing and effective safeguards in place work well and that no evidence has been found to date that money has been diverted for unintended purposes, as well as the risk assessment and related additional measures;’
ID:
§ 9
First part	‘Deplores the absence of progress in the Council on the reform of the own resources system; recalls its position on the amended Commission proposals, which endorses the introduction of new own resources; considers that the introduction of fresh genuine revenue sources, in line with the roadmap in the interinstitutional agreement, would serve to cover the additional budgetary burden arising from NextGenerationEU borrowing and would thereby shield the margins and flexibility mechanisms, which in turn would facilitate budgetary decision-making on unforeseen needs as well as new strategic foresight initiatives;’
Second part	‘urges, furthermore, the Commission to continue the efforts to identify fresh, new and preferably genuine own resources and other revenue sources for the EU budget beyond the IIA;’
§ 10
First part	‘Regrets the fact that the capacity to respond to unforeseen events or to launch new initiatives is severely affected by budgetary scarcities and intends to rectify this situation to the extent possible and also taking account of the increased expectations by EU citizens;’
Second part	‘recalls that it is necessary to establish an additional special instrument over and above the MFF ceilings so that the EU budget can better adapt and quickly react to crises and their social and economic effects;’
