lpv:translated text	"On behalf of the Liberal Group, I should also like to express our satisfaction. The result obtained at the conciliation stage, and I must emphasise this, would not have been possible without the perseverance of Professor Trakatellis, or without the constructive cooperation between the delegation of our Parliament, the Spanish Presidency and the staff of Commissioner Byrne. Despite the bitter negotiations concerned, essentially, with budgetary aspects, the three institutions wanted, above all, to send a joint message to the citizens of Europe. Health is now one of our main priorities, and we should be proud of this, because it was essential that Europe should, as it were ‘look after its health’ and should at last put in place a comprehensive and integrated strategy on this subject. The lack of food safety, and the increase in the consumption of alcohol and tobacco, particularly among young people, mean that we need, more than ever before, this type of coordinated action at Community level in order to prevent diseases. As for the resurgence of scourges such as Aids or tuberculosis, or the emergence – as has been mentioned – of acts of bio-terrorism, they have made it necessary for the Union to have this rapid reaction capacity. So many reasons and concerns justify an appropriate budget for the next six years. The verdict has been given: EUR 312 million will be paid out, in addition to a Commission declaration making provision for a review of the financial framework in the light of enlargement and the new financial perspective. Admittedly this is less than the EUR 380 million that we were hoping for, but nevertheless it is much more than the EUR 280 million initially granted by the Council. We can therefore say that this compromise is a victory for our Parliament and that, in this House, political will, rather than budgetary dogmatism, has won the day."@en1
