lpv:spoken text	". – Mr President, I would like to begin by congratulating the rapporteur and, as you said, speaking on behalf of the Budget Committee, we are largely supportive of this report. However, there are one or two amendments that cause some difficulties. As the rapporteur stated, Article 28 of the new financial regulation requires that any proposal submitted that has budgetary impact must be accompanied by a financial statement and an evaluation. This report does not do so with respect to the new figure of EUR 351 million, so my committee will only be in a position to support this report if the rapporteur tables an oral amendment to this effect. I hope that all the groups in this House will support this approach because objecting to the oral amendment will only lead to referral back and delay. Moving on to this figure, we have to recognise the constraints in the financial perspective that we have at the moment. Unless we use the flexibility instrument, it will be very difficult for us to meet the amounts stated. So it will have an impact on other policy areas within heading 4 and my plea to all parties is that, when we move on to this stage, this should not be done at the expense of other policies affecting the poorest countries. We do not want to give with one hand and take away with the other. This is precisely what the Development Council states: any funding should be additional. Personally speaking, I welcome whole-heartedly the contents of the Commission paper and the rapporteur's proposals, and I applaud the fact that the EU has led the way in this area. HIV, tuberculosis and malaria are the world's greatest killers and are the most serious diseases affecting the world today. Nearly six million people have died. So much EU funding is used for intangible issues, and I hope we will support this report."@en1
