lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, at a time when the voice of the citizens for a more social and more democratic Europe is growing, unfortunately the Council and the Junker Presidency are going backwards, with six countries holding a gun to the others' head. They are calling, at any cost, for a compromise to the lowest common denominator. They are abandoning the ambitious targets for the future of European unification. The Confederal Group of the European United Left/Nordic Green Left rejects the philosophy of an agreement 'at any cost' which also permeates the Böge report, because it results in less Europe and greater inequalities and has as its victims the weaker countries and the weaker social groups. Europe and the Council should, at long last, understand that there cannot be more and a bigger European Union with less money. The European United Left considers the Commission proposal to be a totally inadequate starting point for financing the objectives of cohesion and the social agenda following enlargement. Any thought, therefore, of further reduction is incomprehensible as far as we are concerned. In the name of the European United Left, I call for a fair division of the costs of enlargement. Not for the poorer countries and regions to pay most. For the unacceptable scandal of the British exemption to end. We are all equal. For the injustice against the 16 regions which are victim of the so-called statistical effect to be addressed fully and positively and for stronger support to be safeguarded during the transitional period of the regions which have not yet completed the convergence process themselves."@en1
