lpv:translated text	"Mr President, now that we have arrived at the final decision on the EU’s Budget for 2001, we can say that we have come through a year of constant struggle to produce the Budget successfully within the framework devised when the financial perspective was adopted in Berlin in March 1999. We can now say that this struggle has been successful. We shall be able to adopt a Budget within this framework, which is a great success. I believe, in actual fact, that both the Member States and the taxpayers are grateful that the charges are not still higher. I also see it as a clear success that we are able to go into a new Budget year with a greater margin than in the past. When we make use of 1.06 per cent of the Member States’ GDP, this gives us a margin greater than ever before and greater than that predicted in Berlin less than two years ago. This gives us an opportunity to be an active partner where enlargement to include the countries in Central and Eastern Europe is concerned and when it comes to helping establish peace and prosperity in Serbia and the former Yugoslavia. For all this to be possible, there will have to be extensive prioritising in the future, too. This will be necessary if we are successfully to honour our long-term commitments, something which is clearly possible if our objective is to work for an EU which is strong but, at the same time, circumscribed. As I see it, there is a major threat in the present-day situation, namely BSE. It is nonetheless important to note that we must cope successfully with this too within the current Budget framework. This means that, if the solution to the problem requires still more money, this must be provided by means of other savings in Category 1 or through the Member States’ accepting a larger portion of the cost."@en1
