As Muresan pointed out, the EP has three new proposals regarding sources of revenue for the EU. — Digital tax, own resources based on cryptocurrency transactions and own resources based on online gaming and betting – he listed.
— If we want to adequately finance our priorities, avoid cuts, pay off debt and not significantly increase the contribution of member states, own resources are inevitable, especially those related to the digital sector, he argued.
