Punkt 4 går videre med en tilkendegivelse af, at Parlamentet "finder, at medlemsstaternes fremgangsmåde strider mod princippet om loyalt samarbejde institutionerne imellem" og at det "fortolker dette som et signal om, at Rådet agter at opgive den interinstitutionelle aftale og de finansielle overslag heri".
Paragraph 4 goes on to say that the Parliament 'considers the Member States' approach to be a breach of the principle of loyal cooperation between the institutions' and that it 'interprets this approach as a signal that the Council intends to abandon the Interinstitutional Agreement and the Financial Perspective included therein'.
