European Parliament
Goudin, Lundgren and Wohlin (IND/DEM ),
in writing.
(SV)
We are abstaining from voting on this report. We do not regret the fact that there is a surplus in the EU budget, but welcome the fact that this will lead to reduced membership fees for the EU Member States. In order to limit the way in which money is shunted around and, in the longer term, EU administration too, the membership fees should be reduced permanently. We wish to see a general review of the way in which the EU budget is funded, leading to a uniform system of payments.
