"Mr President, I too want personally to thank the rapporteur, Mr Böge, for his excellent work. It is pertinent to remark that none of us could have dealt with this matter better, in what were extremely difficult negotiations. He managed to improve on the original proposal in two matters especially. The first of these is the Flexibility Instrument. This is an important tool, because responding in humanitarian situations is precisely what the public expects of the EU. The other important matter is the review clause in the Financial Perspectives, which is an absolutely essential instrument from the point of view of Parliament’s competence. I must express my disappointment with the Council’s original agreement and, in particular, with Christmas bonuses. They will not bring any kind of added value to the EU, and the emphasis should have been on training and innovation. The Galileo and Erasmus programmes should have warranted better treatment and additional funding. It is nevertheless important that consensus has been reached and that we can show our citizens that in the new EU of 25 countries decisions can be made even in difficult circumstances. Accordingly, it is extremely important for us all to vote in favour of Mr Böge’s report. Once again I say thank you to Mr Böge for the excellent job he has done."@en1
