"Mr President, I can be extremely brief. I thought the response by the Commissioner was encouraging on its own merits. I think he is right in stating that we in Parliament should make every effort not to obstruct procedures. I should point out, however, that we in Parliament have tried our hardest, using all the means at our disposal, to keep those budget lines up and running that enabled us to continue financing NGOs. This can only be stretched so far and speed is then of the essence.
I would like to make one last point following on from the official reply by the Commissioner on the Intergovernmental Conference. It is, in fact, not so much the content of the present Treaty or present declarations which is at issue, in fact he is more concerned to adapt these declarations, presumably in such a way as to form a legal basis from them, so that a programme can be based on them. This is the problem, in fact, and I would ask the Commissioner whether it would be possible to give this matter further attention within the Commission. As such, we are thus not asking for a new treaty, but for some attention.
Finally, because we are of course involved in the development of NGOs in the new Member States, in the context of enlargement, we believe that this should be given extremely high priority."@en1
