EC own resources: EC financing 1993-1999 (repl. dec. 88/376/376/EEC)

The Committee on Budgets adopted the report by Mr Langes, which reminded the House that the Commission proposal incorporated the conclusions of the Edinburgh summit and reproached the European Commission for helping to erode its own institutional powers, by unilaterally incorporating the conclusions of the Edinburgh summit, thus undermining the powers of the European Parliament, given that the European Council is not part of the budgetary authority. Nonetheless, Mr Langes recommended that Parliament, which is responsible for the continuity of the Union's finances, accept the Commission proposal and, at the same time, call on it to table proposals for a radical reform of the system of own resources for 1996.�
