Multiannual Financial Framework 2021-2027 and own resources: time to meet citizens' expectations (B9-0110/2019, B9-0112/2019, B9-0113/2019)

10-10-2019

Mr President,
There is much to commend the joint resolution on the next MFF. The SNP fully intends for Scotland to remain in the EU in the coming years, so this issue directly affects all of Scotland’s citizens.
The future financial settlement will come at a time when both Europe and the wider world face new and pressing challenges. With this in mind, the SNP group particularly welcomes the support for the principle of climate mainstreaming and the calls for a meaningful European Green Deal.
Nevertheless, my party considers that taxation matters should remain primarily a Member State competence and we have a long record in this House of opposing moves toward further own resources. We were therefore regrettably unable to support the joint resolution.

Written questions

Members can submit a specific number of questions to the President of the European Council, the Council, the Commission and the Vice-President of the Commission/High Representative of the Union, for written answer. Rule 138, Annex III
