lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I want to congratulate Mrs Mann on her carefully prepared work and have great pleasure in supporting it. The importance, as Mrs Mann has emphasised and the Commission proposed, of a single budget line, is not just about simplifying Parliament’s work. It is so that we can properly evaluate and vote on what money we are spending on which projects so that the Commission and Parliament can jointly consider what is best value for money and how we need to spend money in the future. The emphasis Mrs Mann has given to the importance of clarity about the division of responsibility between the Community and the Member States in the field of export promotion is also crucial. There is some sensitivity about this and clarity about the budget line and the legal base are not only going to help us to do our work in a more logical way but also reassure the Member States that there is a proper allocation of responsibilities. I want to comment very briefly on two other matters. I was very pleased as President of the delegation between this Parliament and the US Congress that the transatlantic legislators’ dialogue merited a mention in the budget report. You know, colleagues, how much emphasis this Parliament has put on the TLD. And Mrs Mann’s report mentioned, among the many other excellent projects, the European Institute in Washington supported by the Commission. It is just one example, but an excellent one, of how cooperation, not only financial but political, industrial and commercial, can pay very considerable dividends. I am delighted to support Mrs Mann and as I am finishing my speech with one second to spare, I hope I will receive a bit of applause for that."@en1
