lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the 2006 budget is important because it is the last budget in the current Financial Perspective. This budget will also be a bridge to the next financial perspective, on which there is no agreement at present. Parliament, of course, adopted its own negotiating position in its adoption of Mr Böge’s creditable report last spring. It is particularly important to secure funding for the EU’s future from the point of view of the major priorities, which are improved competitiveness in the Union, investment in research and development, and improvements in public safety. By investing in research and development, we are at the same time investing in the Union’s future. We should not, however, completely forget the Union’s other policy areas. Agriculture will need a structural change in the future, but these changes must be made in such a way that agriculture can be practised in the future throughout the Union as a whole, including the peripheral regions. Recent times have unfortunately shown that natural disasters are becoming more common. The Union budget should in future make better provision for this, so that we can react quickly both within the Union’s borders and outside them. Mr Dombrovskis, Parliament’s own rapporteur for the budget, should be congratulated for ensuring that Parliament sets a good example by budgeting according to real needs and not according to how much money might possibly have been spent on developing various more or less appropriate new schemes and projects. It is absolutely intolerable that the budget should be drawn up in such a way that 20%, by a ‘gentlemen’s agreement’, should be spent every year, up to the last cent. An accountable Parliament inspiring public confidence drafts its budget with reference to real costs, not percentages."@en1
