30. Urges the Commission to complete the legislative framework and put forward a proposal for effective governance of the different levels of development and management of the programme by drawing on the expert knowledge held by public bodies in the EU, including EU agencies, and by the private sector, for the development and coordination of user-driven services; urges the Commission and the other institutions to include financing for GMES in the multiannual financial framework for 2014-2020; reiterates that inc ...[+++]lusion of GMES funding in the multiannual financial framework would avoid wasting investment to date in the Seventh Framework Programme of Research in the field of services and information; points out that the lack of a financing plan providing long-term economic support will mean that investment made to date has been fruitless; believes that asking the Member States to continue to cover the costs of the launch and annual maintenance of the programme would lead in the long term to greater costs, disparity of access to resulting information and benefits for European citizens, a likely temporary suspension of the programme itself, subsequent interruption in data provision, and ultimately a dependence on non-European space infrastructure, placing the sector-related industries in a precarious economic situation;

6. Reiterates the importance of enhancing interinstitutional cooperation in the field of building policy; calls on the other EU institutions likewise to develop medium- and long-term buildings strategies that include the objectives set out in this resolution; stresses the need to receive in good time the information necessary for decision-making under the procedure laid down in Article 179 of the Financial Regulation, which ‘should include needs assessments and cost benefit analyses for the various alternatives, outlining the options to rent or buy, as well as transparent information concerning the alternative ...[+++]financing possibilities, the long-term financial consequences, and compatibility with the MFF’ (Annex 2 to EP resolution of 17 December 2009 on the draft general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2010 as modified by the Council) ; takes the view that, in this context, cooperation with other institutions in working towards the harmonisation of such information in order to allow a comparison of building space and costs should be considered a key issue; points to the need for a specific report and possible recommendations concerning unnecessarily high maintenance, renovation and purchase costs;

– this implies a transitional phase for the shift from the existing financial programming based on seven-year interinstitutional agreements to legally binding planning on a five-year basis; to this end, the institutions should reach agreement on the transformation of the financial framework contained in the existing interinstitutional agreement into a regulation containing the financial framework on the basis of prolonging the existing financial framework (2007-2013) up to the end of 2015, so that the next multiannual financial frame ...[+++]work can come into force in early 2016 and cover the period up to the end of 2020.

H. whereas the institutions should ensure that the calendar of the next financial framework allows for democratic legitimacy and matching of the Commission and Parliament mandates as far as possible, considering a possible prolongation and adjustment of the current MFF until 2015/2016,

Should the two arms of the budgetary authority fail to agree on a new financial framework, and unless the existing financial framework is expressly terminated by one of the institutions, the ceilings for the last year covered by the existing financial framework will be adjusted in accordance with Point 16 so that the 2013 ceilings are maintained in constant prices.
