BUDG, CONT European Parliament
00:05 - 01:12
Speaker 5
Good morning everybody, let's start our meeting. Welcome to today's BUDG-CONT meeting, which I have the pleasure to chair with Miss Hohlmeier who will be with us within a few minutes. Today's meeting will be dedicated to the consideration of amendments on the performance framework regulation, a regulation that addresses monitoring and reporting on the performance of the post-2027 MFF multiannual financial framework. Given the respective competences for the Union budget and the discharge, the BUDG and CONT committees co-lead the negotiations on this file. BUDG-CONT members have tabled more than 1,300 amendments to the Commission proposal including over 300 amendments on the intervention fields and indicators in Annex 1.

Speaker 4
Ten other committees have already delivered their opinions on the Commission proposal and the rapporteurs from the opinion giving committees have been invited to today's meeting. The choreography of today's meeting will be as follows: we start with of course the co-rapporteurs Mr Germain and Mr Herbst, subsequently we will pass the floor to BUDG and CONT shadows by political groups for 4 minutes each and in the third round we will hear from the rapporteurs for opinion for 2 minutes each. So let's immediately start and I pass the floor to Monsieur Germain, please.

Speaker 3
Thank you, Chair. I am going to be quite brief because I think that the idea of this committee meeting is to hear the colleagues on their amendments and their key priorities. So first I want to thanks for the huge efforts with those amendments to improve the text that we co-tabled with Niclas Herbst. I shall also say that as I said before, we want to enlarge the agreement between EPP and S&D to at least enough groups enabling the text to be voted. And I'm speaking first of the platform that supported the interim MFF report.
So we will work hard to try to take on board the key priorities of the group. And third, there is a huge work to be done on this the part that we didn't touch upon, especially the Annex 1, to try to find an agreement on that, taking on board your amendments and also the proposal of the opinion-giving committee. We are starting now to work on a certain number of compromises and there will be a technical meeting where we will present a proposal for compromise for a couple of articles.
