lpv:translated text	"Mr President, first I would like to thank the rapporteur, Mr Böge, for his excellent work towards establishing the financial frameworks. He was working under difficult circumstances, but nevertheless enjoyed Parliament’s undivided confidence throughout. The financial framework is a shallow one, payments only account for 1% of Gross National income, and it is visible within the content of the frameworks. It is unfortunate that we could not do anything about Great Britain’s annual EUR five-and-a-half billion contribution rebate. In my opinion every one of us should bear responsibility for financing the EU. Initially the emphasis in the financial frameworks was on improved competitiveness. The Commission set an ambitious objective to improve industrial and entrepreneurial competitiveness in the European Union by promoting research and development and endorsing training schemes. The funds intended for these were to be trebled within seven years. The purpose was to improve employment prospects in particular. The Council, however, cut these funds by 40%, so this ambitious objective remained unachieved, which has been the greatest failure in these negotiations on the financial framework. It is good in the final outcome that progress has been made with the Structural Funds. The new Member States are to receive approximately EUR 24 billion net every year from the old Member States for their reconstruction. In this way Europe can once again become united and strong. Now we need to hurry to make use of the time available to establish the financial programmes, otherwise unpaid commitments will reach intolerable levels in the first few years."@en1
