Insufficient own resources

Question for written answer  E-002039/2021
to the Commission
Rule 138
Hélène Laporte (ID)

In May 2020, the European Commission proposed to launch the Next Generation EU instrument as part of a comprehensive package to reduce the socio-economic impact of the pandemic.

The Recovery and Resilience Facility will play the key role in this instrument, making over EUR 600 billion available to be distributed in the form of grants and loans.

Repayment of the principal and interest is to be ensured through the establishment of new own resources.

The Commission has already put a plastic-waste-recycling levy in place and is considering five other forms of own resources over the next five years.

The costing of a number of the envisaged own resources has yet to be determined precisely.
