Translation of "nouvelles règles " (French → English) :

2. Considers that, following the conclusion of the political negotiations on the MFF 2014-20, the Commission should ensure as a matter of priority the smooth functioning of the new financial framework, including the new rules on flexibility agreed in the framework of these negotiations; expects that the new Commission will, at the moment of its investiture, make a formal commitment to conduct the MFF revision by the end of 2016, which will also allow the new Parliament to reassess EU priorities;

– Mr President, first of all I would say to those of us who would like to invent new institutions, new rules and new funds, I do not think we can solve the problems that have come from not respecting rules by creating new rules.

58. Notes that, according to the European Parliamentary Assistants Association, the Court of Auditors, the Parliament's own Financial Controller and Mr Onesta, the Vice-President responsible for the Statute for Assistants, the new rules on the payment of the secretarial allowance which entered into effect on 1 January 2001 still pose a number of problems, both in terms of ensuring compliance with the Financial Regulation and with relevant national legislation (taxation, social security and so on), and also in terms of user-friendliness; welcomes, therefore, the changes to the rules governing the payment of the secretarial allowance adop ...[+++]ted by the Bureau on 9 February 2004; calls on the Secretary-General to ensure that the new rules are strictly enforced; considers, however, that the new requirement that, in the case of service contracts, invoices or fee statements should be accompanied by statements certifying that the staff concerned are duly affiliated to a social security scheme and that tax and social security contributions are duly paid should not be limited to contracts with a duration exceeding six months;
