".
We are appalled that the level of the draft Budget for 2005 is set below 1% of the Community’s Gross National Income (GNI), when the ceiling for own resources set for 2000-2006 is 1.24% of the GNI (1.27% of the GNP). This is clearly inadequate for the serious aims of economic and social cohesion of a European Union.
We therefore condemn the Council’s strategy of setting the tone for the debate on the Financial Perspectives for 2007-2013 by setting a draft Budget at less than 1% of Community GNI, which is clearly in line with the ‘Letter of the Six’ and which offers a response to the constraints of the Stability and Growth Pact.
We regret that Parliament, despite institutional skirmishes, is aligned with this strategy; we regret that the main priorities are a mythical and mystifying Lisbon Strategy, terrorism and information policy; we regret that the priorities are drawing ever closer to the objectives of a so-called ‘European Constitution’ that has not been ratified and to a proposal for a political and financial framework that has not been approved, whilst money made available through the Community budget ought to enable the EU to meet essential and strategic aims that have been ratified and approved, such as improving people’s living standards, promoting economic and social cohesion, sustainable development and jobs, and promoting external cooperation partnerships with the least developed countries."@en1
