"I would like to thank Mr Prodi for presenting this programme, which can be seen as important, and it is certainly different from what was suggested by the rumours that were going around beforehand. Of course, we cannot, however, claim that it is a great success to have established the same reference figure – 1.24 – that we already had before.
I would like, however, to thank the President of the Commission for having reached an agreement, albeit an incomplete one. That being said, I must, as a young Vice-Chairman of the Committee on Budgets, certainly be anxious and express my fears for agriculture, culture, the TEN projects, technology, research, the universities and all the programmes that we launched and announced so enthusiastically. I believe that, in view of the imminent enlargement to the East, we cannot definitely say – and, above all, the Council cannot say – that this is a major agreement. We can simply say that it is a watered-down agreement.
I think that Mr Colom i Naval, whom I thank for his contribution, Mr Wynn and also the President of the Commission will be able to support a young man like myself when I say that I would like to recall the words of a great personality, Ignazio de Loyola, founder of the Jesuits. He said that he feared the day when no one fought him any longer. Well, I think that we must all fight with this same spirit to see a Europe that is certainly stronger, but one that develops more and is able to have more resources for our projects."@en1
