". We regret that the four amendments tabled by our group to the Resolution on the Financial Perspectives were rejected. Accordingly, the Resolution does not condemn the strategy of the signatory countries to what is referred to as the ‘Letter of the six’, a strategy that the Council appears to support. Their aim is to stifle debate on the Financial Perspectives by proposing that the EU budget be set at a maximum of 1% of the Community GNI, and, in so doing, to shift the focus away from funding social and economic cohesion in an enlarged EU and from other policies in this area. The question of the duration of the next Financial Perspectives is also left open, in view of the five-year objectives laid down by the so-called European Constitution; we feel that the seven-year period – 2007 to 2013 – is more appropriate from the point of view of programming the structural policy. Lastly, the Resolution makes an inappropriate connection between the debate on own resources, revenue, the Financial Perspectives and spending, which places the correction mechanisms of the main liquid contributors on the negotiating scales. Hence our abstention."@en1
