<![CDATA[Amendment to the European Budget Act 2012]]>SECTION II. FINANCING THE BUDGET

  1. Each nation is expected to contribute a membership fee of one-tenth of one percent 0.05% of their Gross Domestic Product towards funding the European Union's Budget.

Councillors, the gutting of the way that the European Union's Budget is financed has been proven to be ineffective and pointless. The ambition to reduce a surplus that is given back to member states has blinded those who, by filling their mouths with the word "sovereignty", justified this manoeuvre. Nobody in ten years complained about the surplus as hard as the complaints have got. I believe that this change was highly unnecessary and that damaged the state of the European Union, therefore I am proposing this amendment to go back to the original text on Section II, Article I.

I hope to gather your support to stop this sabotage to our Union.

Donald Tusk
Councillor for Spain
