lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the first budget of this new financial framework confirms and reinforces the grave apprehensions we had during the debates on Agenda 2000 and on the interinstitutional agreement that goes with it. Indeed, the most striking point about this budget is its obvious lack of appropriations with which to confront specific objectives, given that it is in Category 4 on external action and cooperation that this shortfall is most evident. On this matter, I would like to express not only my strong disagreement with the indiscriminate horizontal cuts that the Council is proposing in this Category, but also to state my general agreement with the strategy that the rapporteur is proposing to us. I also agree with the fact that in essence, it is aiming for a revision of the Financial Perspective so that they will respond to new priorities without previous objectives being affected as a result. Within the scope of this strategy, we are pleased to note that Timor is one of this budget’s priorities, and we particularly welcome the fact that the rapporteur has accepted the insertion of a new heading in order to deal with the reconstruction of that region, which is moreover what we on the Committee on Development and Cooperation had proposed and approved. This is, moreover, the only way in which we can respond to the new situation in Timor, whilst at the same time respecting the legal basis for intervening in the right way. The proposal of EUR 30 million in payment appropriations, however, seems insufficient to us. This is why we want to see this merely as the starting point for a final sum which will be established in the near future and in the context of the Conference of Donors, which is in progress and in which the European Union is participating. By the same token, we would only accept the insertion of this new heading for Timor in a multiannual perspective to be considered within an international framework. One final, very specific point, which is nevertheless of great importance: it is essential to ensure – if this has not already been done – that under heading B7-6000, concerning non-governmental organisations, there is a reference to the Liaison Committee in the respective commentary. Indeed it would be absurd if this did not happen."@en1
