lpv:translated text	"Mr President, according to its preliminary draft budget, the Commission wants 500 temporary posts to serve the needs of EU enlargement, which would be financed by means of a flexible mechanism. This is the wrong way to provide finance. There is no question here of unforeseen expenditure. Parliament also wishes to prepare for enlargement by employing additional staff. To cover the cost of this the desire has been expressed to resort to the so-called negative priorities, in other words seeking to trim and wind down current activities. Savings would then apply most drastically to activities that maintain Parliament’s pluralistic and diverse nature, and that is why this is the wrong way to provide finance. It is reasonable for both the Commission and Parliament to place on view the administrative expenditure due to enlargement under Section V of the budget. It is reasonable to exceed the upper limit for administrative expenditure recorded in the Interinstitutional Agreement partly because when the agreement was being made there was no provision for the inclusion of ten new Member States and nine new languages. The costs of enlargement must be paid for and they must be shown transparently in the budget."@en1
