"Mr President, when, a few months ago, we established the guidelines for the 2003 Budget, there was widespread agreement in the European Parliament on three priorities for category 5. These were the preparations for the coming enlargement, necessary institutional reforms and managing both enlargement and the institutional reforms within the budgetary framework. If, at its meeting in Copenhagen in December, the European Council decides to carry out a in which 10 new countries become Member States in time for the next elections to the European Parliament in 2004, this will place extraordinary demands on the system. There is no greater challenge than this. Through its far-sighted policy, the European Parliament has worked long and hard to bring about the coming enlargement. This work will now continue in the 2003 budget. If all this is to be managed successfully, enlargement must be given the greatest priority in all EU institutions and must also have a tangible impact on the ongoing budgetary work. With this in mind, it is positive and encouraging that the incoming Danish Presidency has made very clear that enlargement is its main priority. This work must also make inroads in the EU’s own organisation. During this year, it has been expressed extremely clearly, not least by the European Parliament, that each institution must complete preparations for enlargement before 2004. This places particular demands on next year’s budget. The conciliation with the Council in just over two weeks will form an extremely important part of this work, not least regarding the opportunities to reach an agreement concerning category 5."@en1
