"Mr President, with telegraphic brevity then, first of all congratulations to Mr Wynn on his report. On behalf of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Human Rights, Common Security and Defence Policy, I have four points to make. The first point is that we fear that too restrictive a budget may actually prevent the European Union from playing its part on the international stage. The second point is that while we supported a transparent, flexible and simplified budget, we also very much want the European Parliament to retain control of it before any decision is taken. So far as external relations are concerned, we therefore call for a budget breakdown that is both thematic and geographical. The third point is the fight against poverty. It seems to us that one of the ways, albeit not the only way, of preventing terrorism in the world today is to eradicate poverty. That is therefore one of our priorities. The fourth point is that, with enlargement, we want our relations with the Arab world to be maintained and expanded and the Barcelona process and neighbourhood policy to be relaunched. That is also our last priority."@en1
