lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Commissioner Hübner has tried to give us answers on an issue which does not strictly come within her remit because, despite the title, the content of the question mainly concerns her colleague, Mrs Grybauskaitė, as she herself said at some point. I think that this is an error on the part of the Conference of Presidents, which has given the question the wrong title. Nonetheless, I shall overlook this matter in order to say that the basic message that the question wanted to send out is that burdens which arise in general in the new period of the financial perspectives should be distributed fairly between the Member States. I would say that not only the cohesion countries to date should be victims, but also the new Member States, which will need to be dealt with fairly, and I am not sure that this is always the case. In all events, I should like to make three brief comments on the matter. First, there are certainly significant reductions as regards the cohesion countries in relation to their income from the European Union's regional policy and I welcome, within this framework, the Commissioner's hint, even if it was only a hint, that the Commission is willing at least to discuss some sort of compensation mechanism. Secondly, it is to my mind scandalous that we should still have this British exemption in the budget, which is why I believe that there should also be a global debate at some point on the own resources system. Thirdly, and lastly, I think that it is clear from the debate so far that Parliament needs to hold a broader debate in the immediate future, so that the papers going round the Commission corridors on the issues touched on by the question can be debated more broadly and so that we all know what the issues are and can establish the injustices against the cohesion countries and the regions of the European Union which are lagging behind from the development point of view."@en1
