lpv:translated text	". The Mann report will not receive our support for various reasons. First of all, the projects lack a legal basis. That is right, because these projects do not constitute EU tasks. Cooperation between Member States is a way to complete these, without independent EU authority, unless the Member States grant a mandate to this effect. Despite this, the Commission and rapporteur have discovered a legal basis in Articles 133 and 308. The Commission fails to specify precisely which activities fall under Article 133 and which under 308, so that ambiguity as to competences continues to exist. In addition, the Commission proposes one budget line. However, funding for multiannual programmes and large-scale projects is undesirable, because the Commission is not allowed to pursue independent policy on behalf of the said partner countries. Furthermore, the Commission has promised to pull up its socks by carrying out fewer tasks. The Commission should represent the EU Member States at WTO level. Its complementary role is manifesting itself in the coordination of Member State activities. There is hence no scope for further deepening or extending. The Commission is inundated with topics of a European nature, such as agriculture, effects on developing countries and trade conflicts. That is why a more common trade policy is not expedient. In our opinion, the rapporteur’s report is an improvement on the Commission proposal, but it fails to sufficiently underscore the said points. That is why we abstained from voting."@en1
