". Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the European Parliament will have its first opportunity tomorrow to react to the uncertainty brought about by the outcome of the French and Dutch referenda. Mr Böge’s report is a good report; it is balanced and in keeping with the Prodi Commission’s proposal. It maintains an appropriate level of resources for the Union, ensures that regions lagging behind in development will continue to enjoy the support of the Union, aims to penalise no one on the grounds of enlargement, and relies on cohesion but also on competitiveness, by prioritising research and technological innovation. Those are the arguments presented by the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs, which Mr Böge has taken into consideration in his report, and for which I thank him. Aside from the improvements that can be made, however, it is important to consider the tangible and symbolic value of Parliament’s approval of this text. The positive signals are two-fold: reaching an agreement within the time limits set and, in particular, rejecting the drastic cut in resources demonstrate the will to not give in to the temptation of renationalisation. This vote must resonate as a call to next week’s European Council, in order that it reaches an agreement that is as close as possible to our position. We do not believe that the Council’s latest proposal is, however, heading in the right direction. That is why, as President Barroso states – and I value his statement – a revival is needed, and that, Mr President, is the first crucial decision for such a revival of the Union."@en1
