Points out that, instead of providing the EU with sufficient own resources to implement its policies, the current system makes Community financing more and more incomprehensible for the public and leads to downward negotiations among Member States both net contributors and beneficiaries on the basis of the so-called 'fair return', which completely disregards the many different advantages which all the Community partners obtain from their membership of the Union and any logic of cohesion;

To this end, considers it appropriate gradually to introduce a genuine Union own resource of a fiscal nature which would free the Union from its dependence on transfers from the Member States, would establish a direct link between the public and Community finances, would be effective and equitable, and would not represent any increase in the overall fiscal burden on taxpayers;

за относно бъдещето на Косово и ролята на ЕС
on the future of Kosovo and the role of the EU
– като взе предвид резолюция 1244 на Съвета за сигурност на ООН от 10 юни 1999 г.,
– having regard to Resolution 1244 of the United Nations Security Council of 10 June 1999,
– като взе предвид доклада на специалния пратеник на Генералния секретар на ООН относно обстойния преглед на прилагането на Стандартите, представен на Съвета за сигурност на ООН на 7 октомври 2005 г.,
– having regard to the report by the UN Secretary-General's Standards Review Envoy on the Comprehensive Review of the implementation of Standards, submitted to the UN Security Council on 7 October 2005,
– като взе предвид решението на Съвета за сигурност на ООН от 24 октомври 2005 г. да одобри предложението на Генералния секретар на ООН да се започне водене на разговори за определяне на статута на Косово,
– having regard to the decision by the UN Security Council on 24 October 2005 to endorse the Secretary-General's proposal to initiate the status talks on Kosovo,
– като взе предвид назначаването на 14 ноември 2005 г. на г-н Martti Ahtisaari за специален пратеник на Генералния секретар на ООН за процеса за определяне на бъдещия статут на Косово,
– having regard to the appointment, on 14 November 2005, of Mr Martti Ahtisaari as Special Envoy of the Secretary-General of the United Nations for the future status process for Kosovo,
– като взе предвид заключенията на контактната група от 31 януари 2006 г., подчертаващи особеното естество на проблема в Косово - конкретизирал се, според заключенията, от разпадането на Югославия и последвалите конфликти, етническо прочистване и събитията от 1999 г., и от продължителния период на международна администрация съгласно Резолюция № 1244(1999) на Съвета за сигурност на ООН – и призоваващи към бързо намиране на решение чрез водене на преговори,
– having regard to the conclusions of the Contact Group of 31 January 2006 underscoring the specific nature of the Kosovo problem – shaped, according to the conclusions, by the disintegration of Yugoslavia and the resulting conflicts, ethnic cleansing and the events of 1999, and by the lengthy period of international administration under Security Council Resolution 1244 (1999) – and calling for an early negotiated settlement of the issue as the best course to follow,
– като взе предвид заключенията на заключенията на Председателството на Европейския съвет на 14 и 15 декември 2006 г., които напълно подкрепят усилията на Martti Ahtisaari за намиране на решение на въпроса за статута и потвърждават готовността на Съюза да изиграе значителна роля за изпълнение на бъдещото решение,
– having regard to the Presidency Conclusions of the European Council of 14/15 December 2006, which fully support Martti Ahtisaari's efforts towards a solution of the status question and reaffirm the Union's readiness to play a significant role in the implementation of the future settlement,
– като взе предвид окончателния доклад/препоръките за...на....специалния пратеник,
– having regard to the Special Envoy's final report/recommendations for ... of ...,
– като взе предвид член45 от своя правилник,
– having regard to Rule 45 of its Rules of Procedure,
А. като има предвид, че ръководните принципи за определяне на статута на Косово, приети от контактната група на 7 октомври 2005 г. акцентуват върху факта, че решение, на база водене на преговори трябва да бъде международен приоритет и, че веднъж започнал процесът на преговори не може да бъде блокиран и трябва да бъде доведен до край; като има предвид, че тези принципи ясно определят, че не може да има връщане назад към ситуацията отпреди март 1999 г. или да бъде осъществено каквото и да е разделяне на Косово или съюз между Косово и друга страна или част от някоя страна,
A. whereas the guiding principles for a settlement of the status of Kosovo adopted by the Contact Group on 7 October 2005 emphasise that a negotiated settlement should be an international priority and that, once started, the negotiation process cannot be blocked and must be brought to a conclusion; whereas those principles stipulate clearly that there cannot be any return to the pre–March 1999 situation, or any partition of Kosovo, or any union of Kosovo with any other country or part of any country,
Б. като има предвид, че през 90-те години населението на Косово бе обект на системно насилие и репресия, което през 1999 г. ескалира в масово експулсиране на гражданското население, карайки Съвета за сигурност на ООН да се намеси, в началото на действията от страна на НАТО, и да постави територията под международен граждански контрол и контрол за безопасност; като има предвид, че това създаде безпрецедентна ситуация в международното право,
B. whereas in the 1990s the population of Kosovo was subject to systematic acts of violence and repression which in 1999 escalated into in a mass expulsion of the civilian population, leading the United Nations Security Council, in the wake of NATO action, to intervene and to place the territory under international civil and security control; whereas this created an unprecedented situation in international law,
В. като има предвид, че събитията от март 2004 г., които трябва да бъдат заклеймени, доказват трайното напрежение между албанските и сръбските общности в Косово и необходимостта да се намери решение, което да гарантира правата на двете етнически общности и на другите етнически групи, в съответствие с публикациите на ОССЕ, Съвета на Европа и други организации, които има правомощия в областта на защитата на малцинствата,
C. whereas the events of March 2004, which must be condemned, prove the persisting tensions within Kosovo between the Albanian and the Serb communities and the need to find a solution which guarantees the rights of both ethnicities and of other ethnic groups, in line with the publications of the OSCE, the Council of Europe and other organisations with competencies in the field of the protection of minorities,
Г. като има предвид, че определянето на бъдещия статут на Косово ще допринесе за неговото икономическо развитие, появата на зряла политическа класа и развитието на толерантно и недискриминиращо общество в провинцията,
D. whereas determining the future status of Kosovo will contribute to its economic development, the emergence of a mature political class and the development of a tolerant, non–segregational society in the province,
