Proposal for a Council Decision on the system of own resources of the European Union

The proposed own resources Decision includes three main elements: the simplification of Member States' contributions, the introduction of new own resources and the reform of correction mechanisms. The Commission report on the operation of the own resources system highlights how each of these proposals relates to - and complements - the others. Taken together these proposals constitute a balanced package which must be looked at as a whole in the context of a single decision.
