lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I too should like to start by thanking the rapporteurs for all the work they have done. I think that what we have achieved, namely payment appropriations amounting to 1.01% of the gross national income, is especially significant in the light of the negotiations about the financial perspectives. It is higher than what Luxembourg offered under its Presidency and it is, if I am not mistaken, also higher than what is currently on offer by the British Presidency. I agree with the many who say that Parliament’s most important achievement has been the broader scope of the programmes relating to young people. We have received more funds in the framework of the flexibility instrument, which is also one of Parliament’s important criteria for subsequent financial perspectives. Let me turn to the common foreign and security policy, during the negotiations on which something strange happened. The Council wanted to teach us a lesson in cutting budget spending, and virtually every hour, the appropriations for this policy area increased. This I regard as particularly bad budget policy on the part of the Council in this area, and it has resulted in considerably higher amounts than first proposed at first reading. One possible explanation I could offer for this is the fact that we are now, for the third time, concluding an agreement with the Council on democratic control on the spending of common foreign and security policy funds. The Council ignored the agreement on the first two occasions. Third time lucky, we hope."@en1
