These two texts have too little in common to compare paragraph by paragraph: they are different documents rather than versions of one (for example one group’s motion and the joint text that was adopted).

Part 6 of 7: Paragraphs 203–206
Added:16. Recalls the proposal for a regulation on establishing a budget expenditure tracking and performance framework and other horizontal rules for the Union programmes and activities (the ‘performance regulation’), which establishes a single streamlined list for performance indicators and monitoring and evaluation provisions, some of which are relevant for SMCP; expresses concern that the highly heterogeneous activities funded under SMCP might affect the reliability of the performance indicators, and calls for clearer identification of strand-specific results and greater emphasis on results rather than outputs, while avoiding an increase in administrative burdens and ensuring the proportionality of requirements and harmonised national data-quality requirements; underlines that any change to the architecture, objectives and eligible actions under the programme will need to be appropriately reflected in Annex I of the performance regulation, as part of the process of amending and negotiating that regulation; points out that, while sectoral legislation can supplement the performance regulation, for instance as regards programme evaluations, it should remain consistent with the provisions of that regulation;
Added:17. Calls for the programme to support the development of a fair, competitive and more coherent single market based on clear, consistent and effectively enforced rules, in order to ensure a level playing field, reduce legal fragmentation, promote fair competition and regulatory clarity, and improve access to clear and predictable cross-border rules;
Added:18. Stresses that the programme should ensure a sufficient level of administrative capacity, digital preparedness and enforcement capability, to prevent a de facto multi-speed single market; underlines that customs, market surveillance, anti-fraud and digital implementation capacities must be supported in a balanced manner across the Union, so that all Member States can effectively enforce Union law and ensure a comparable level of protection for citizens, consumers and businesses;
Added:19. Calls for the programme to support, where relevant, the continuity and completion of strategic projects launched under previous Union instruments, including projects started under the Recovery and Resilience Facility, in particular in the areas of digitalisation, customs, market surveillance and anti-fraud.
