"Mr Barón Crespo, regarding your first remark, I was pleased by your words on the quality of Parliament. As for the second point, I would say that today we are limited to urgent reforms on the matters which are, as we have seen, absolutely extraordinary. If we re-read the list of the measures we find Turkey, and all the urgent cases which made it essential to alter the budget. We have not in any way reanalysed the major items of expenditure in the budget. If we look at that item, then I must say, Mr Barón Crespo, that it is not only external policy expenditure which must be reallocated, but I would say that we must reallocate all items in the budget. In all honesty, the structures in the budget are more faithful to their historical origins than to the needs of the future, but I think this is one of the three or four challenges that we must face together. So I am not responding to the single item because I do not feel like it, but I accept your invitation, Mr Barón Crespo, because when I myself start to examine the large expenditure percentages, I find that past rather than future needs are dictating our path."@en1
