RR\1220759EN.docx 7/10 PE660.258v02-00 EN SHORT JUSTIFICATION The Council position at first reading reflects the agreement reached between Parliament and the Council in interinstitutional negotiations at early second reading stage, after legal- linguistic verification. Since the Committee on Budgets (BUDG) and the Committee on Budgetary Control (CONT), at their vote of 12 November 2020, already confirmed the outcome of those interinstitutional negotiations, as your rapporteurs we are proposing that BUDG-CONT recommend that the Plenary confirms the position of the Council at first reading, without amending it.
