"Mr President, as regards the 2007-2013 budget, please make every effort as Chancellor of the neighbouring state to ensure that the Interinstitutional Agreement is concluded, because new Member States have no time to waste. If the seven-year draft budget is not in place, we will lose two thirds of our assistance, and if the draft is delayed any longer, we will not be able to prepare for the large structural and cohesion projects. We believe that it is very important to have a better budget, but we would like to preserve all the positive, significant opportunities given to new Member States in December in respect of the utilisation of structural and cohesion funds. As regards the Constitution, this was the first enlargement that had not been preceded by deepening. Deepening cannot be achieved without the Constitution, and you can count on Hungary in this respect; two states cannot block 23 others. As regards the competitiveness of the European Union, the Services Directive and the liberalisation of the free movement of labour are indispensable. In Ireland, for instance, unemployment did not rise, but actually fell following liberalisation of the free movement of labour. Finally, as a Hungarian, I am very pleased that you are dealing with the Balkans, because there is a great danger: if the status of Montenegro and Kosovo is not settled by the European Union, there will be destabilisation in the West Balkans, because the Americans do not know much about minority issues. At the same time, as President of the Minority Intergroup, I would like to repeat what Mr Hannes Swoboda has already said, and I look forward to your answer, Mr President, regarding the issue of the Austrian Slovenes."@en1
